There is a difference between being a part of a community and leading your own community-driven website. We all know what the word &#8220;community&#8221; means, but an online community is more than just a feel good concept. It is a business model and it&#8217;s one that works.

TechCrunch seems to think so. CNET doesn&#8217;t. But you have to give them credit for trying.
Actually, the verdict is still out. The problem I see with Google Buzz is that it is open only to Gmail users, which isn&#8217;t exactly open. After all, not everyone has a Gmail account and not everyone wants one. But [...]]]></description>
