How do online communities organise themselves?

First every user needs to question themselves where? they hold interest upon!
Since every community has their own strengths, weaknesses, good and bad etc...
you need to specify one subject or category in order to keep focus on.

Of course everyone wants to know or learn more, however while you focus on one simple matter, it slowly expands and connect with different people or organisations.

Therefore the first and most important step is to select a topic that you hold interest upon
Then you would find a multiple of organisation that may discuss and answer what your questions and needs are. however you need to be aware every topic is broaden, so pinpoint your exact key questions then by doing so, the multiple organisation will be limited into 1 or 2 existing possibilites.

Once you have a certain choice (refering to the ogranisation) you then can slowly pick up, learn, share, experience what others can offer you. While you pick up you can always comment and refer back how you feel towards. Nothings ever static so the key of learning can be argued by sharing and improving together.

svkI agree with you Derek that it is important to use a personal interest as the foundation of creating an online community, and then from that starting point the internet can be utilised to allow this interest to eventually grow and diversify.
