You...at the center...

Terry Anderson has given a presentation on "Groups, Networks and Collectives" to CCK08. The presentation is available on blip and the related paper can be downloaded here.
According to Terry "each of us participates in groups, networks, and collectives". While I do agree with the difference Terry made between the three social forms, I do not see that we are merely members of groups/communities or nodes in networks/collectives. In my opinion each of us is at the center of her very own personal knowledge network.

YOU are the sun and everything travels around YOU...
