Online Community Development & Activities
Approach: Some kind of online community is also necessary to the successful utilization of home-based technology. In many cases it can be as simple as a community listserv. But because of the intense competition among community content and portal providers, you may be able to attract an organization that will provide you with a ready-made community at little or no cost.
