Dave Walk Really interesting article about the community around the comment section of a prominent blogger. Unsurprisingly it didn't last. blog.longreads.com...

Martijn The article makes the Horde sound a lot like MetaFilter, or is that just me?

Dave Walk Not too familiar with MetaFilter but this community was around one writer which is unique.

Martijn That's true. I would describe MetaFilter as a community of 'commenters' though, if that would make any sense. Posts on MetaFilter are often just starters for discussions. And from there a whole community has grown with their own customs, jokes, etc. The description of the Horde just made me think of it. If you are interested in MeFi, I really liked this article about the community: penguinrandomhouse...
