Rory, going forward you'll likely see the LLC invest in communities that are more closely aligned with our investment strategies. I can't speak to the size or frequencies of these investments, but the link between th...Updated 20 weeks ago, Tagged by: Nicholas Bentley (CCAL30)
Comment (5) on Archiving O-Net Permanently (beyond 12/31/07) (0) in Transition"How responsible should O.net really feel for inactive members?
Lars, I myself didn't know about the board elections until a day too late, and have served (at least if the feedback system has any merit) fairly well in this community. If having con...Updated 20 weeks ago, Tagged by: Nicholas Bentley (CCAL30)
Comment (0) on Why did O.Net fail to survive ? (3) in TransitionI agree "What's New" is a lousy way to gauge the valuable stuff that is happening here. It's a great way to see which discussions are most active right now, so it's like having a webcam of all the pubs in the city so you can go to a busy one if you w...Updated 20 weeks ago, Tagged by: Nicholas Bentley (CCAL30)

Yes, if "some period of time" forever, then these would be my two requests.

Comment (0) on Why did O.Net fail to survive ? (3) in TransitionThe way I see it, John, about the 19,000 lost members, it is easy to find them, when you look at the set up from the start.

Comment (14) on The end of omidyar.net: creating new communities (237) in Community - GeneralDavid asked (and RicHARD seconded):

Comment (23) on The end of omidyar.net: creating new communities (237) in Community - GeneralI am very sad about p'omidyar closing.

Comment (4) on The end of omidyar.net: creating new communities (237) in Community - GeneralThis is certainly disappointing, but I am not at all surprised.

I am saddened by this news. To be honest I didn't get through the opinion of everyone who wrote on this topic. Sorry, that's a lot of reading. I'll try tomorrow.

Comment (10) on The end of omidyar.net: creating new communities (237) in Community - GeneralI wonder if all of the negative discussion about what wasn't working here has led to the decision to close this site.
