Hi Steve,

I read Bill’s piece and disagree “‘ they never really did get a grasp on what community(or communities) TBD.com would be serving. “. I think TBD did a good job by joining the community ( or communities) even before launch and throughout the development process so we knew who was there and how this was working. Hyper-local news wherever in the DC area was a strength.

From the outside TBD if given time for growth will evolve to a multi-community social news site. As far as whether DC is a community or not – just check out the hashtag #dctech and see people from all over the region participating in this meetup group set up to avoid a community “fractured by location or sector”.

In the end we will travel 30 miles to join a community activity as long as we get some benefit so I would call the DC area a community. We are united if not for anything else atleast by our hope that someone will improve the Metro

Thanks,

Shashi
