There: The Next Online Community

There's another online community opening today: "There". One interesting thing about this community is the intersection of "Therebucks" (the virtual currency) with "actual bucks" and a published exchange rate (see tbux.com). The emerging economic system in these virtual communities is always intriguing to me (see this earlier entry for another example).

Of course, the community is only as good as its ability to foster real relationships and communication, and the early word from There beta participants has been good. We'll keep an eye on it.
