I'm afraid you are wrong. Community can be built online. And it can be amazing!

Time and time again I hear people say that you can't build relationships online.

I'm afraid these people are soooo wrong.

And they are missing out on something that can be amazing!

Go read this story.

Which is followed up by this.

You'll miss a bunch of the context since you probably aren't part of the community, the relationship that is built around the webcomic that Baldur has created over the last bunch of years, but I hope you can see how relationship exists and it's because of the digital medium. (If you are a wargamer that enjoys turn based games, you'll like his comic http://www.erfworld.com. If you aren't it'll make no sense to you.)

So, what does this mean for us?
