David RD Gratton Blog About Beyond Communities of Interest, Communities do not Exist July 3, 2005 My company has been working with what we have been calling Information Clouds, and I came upon Thomas Vanderwals body of work.

Dorine asked: Do Wenger et al. also outline some ideas on HOW to bring balance to situations where
