Designing Communities through Communication, Building them with Social Capital
In interactive ecosystems, the more communicators share with the communities they’ve convened the more trust is created, leading to more sustainable interactions and possibly more powerful actions. The change of the Tunisian and Egyptian political regimes in the so-called “Arab Spring” in early 2011 is testimony to what self-organized communities can do when their members realize that they’re not alone in their thoughts and aspirations.Suddenly, they recognize that they can come together as a makeshift community and effect tremendous upheaval.
