[...] Don’t be uninformed, continuously seek out information, then after you gobble up all this good information start a blog yourself and become part of the space and share with the community. We started this blog as a result of work and sharing of folks like Dana, Karl, Susan, Vlad and many more, hopefully more and more of you will give back. If you have an SMB blog, email me the link, I’ll be more than happy to add it to my blogroll. If you don’t think the community sharing is falling off, then see Vlad’s posting http://www.vladville.com/2007/06/why-are-we-losing-these-great-community-resources.html. [...]

[...] couple of days ago, Vlad put up quite a post about the loss of community: http://www.vladville.com/2007/06/why-are-we-losing-these-great-community-resources.html and perhaps a seepage of skills out of the community. Interesting, and I see where he’s going with [...]

I feel kind of guilty (guilt by association). I promise to do better, because I want the community to not only survive but thrive. I have filled out the survey, and have asked Kevin to add me to his e-mail list so I will know about these things in the future. I always respond to industry surveys when I know about them. I have not blogged and probably wonâ€™t for a little while as I am just the grasshopper in the SBS community. However when I get some experience under my belt I will step up and blog, until then I will pay more attention to the community and respond when I know what I am talking about.
Thanks for the wake up call.

Wrong. Vlad is right when he says “There is no such thing as a community” only he’s thinking too small. There is no comminity in this country right now and that is the thing we need most right now to fix all the problems. The government certainly won’t do it for us no matter how long people stick their heads in the sand. And capitalism is only a distraction right now. Everyone is so busy worrying about there own little slice of capitalism that they don’t see anything else. We need to use the same tactics that are used to build community in our little computer world to build community in the USA and get done what needs to get done. Then we can go back to worrying about our own individual little problems.
