I suspect that we choose ‘community’ activity (including what we are doing in social networks) based on the ‘need’ we have as we search for or discover something of interest for ourselves. What attracts us to certain sites or pages or forums, or other social networking activity, are the synchronizations we experience as we scan these sites (our world).

I think that blogs and social networks offer a new way of forming community and for me that is the key to these internet facilities. I search for or create situations in hopes that others, in sync with me, will be attracted to that and we can develop community.

The basic question for us about ‘diversity’ is centered around what we are searching for; it is about what we sync with. Some do not want diversity and do not sync with situations where ‘others’ are or where ‘diversity’ is obvious.
