While it remains an accurate and useful depiction of the highest level &amp;quot;associations&amp;quot; between people, it would better be called a &amp;nbsp;taxonomy of association types, than a definition of community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've recently become convinced that &amp;quot;community&amp;quot; must include cognizance of membership. Therefore, absent tie, and many weak-tie, association types would not constitute community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To put it another way, not all social systems are necessarily communities. Example: the blogs in my RSS reader define one of my social networks. They do not, however, constitute a community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From yet another perspective, an understanding of the association types is necessary for the development of any social network strategy. And that strategy may be appropriate in terms of leading to a productive social networking outcome. But that social networking outcome may not include the formation of any sort of community. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is particularly true in the area of product support, and in terms of social networking solutions for information workers.&lt;/p&gt;
