And, then of course there¹s the concept of the ³open neighbourhood², and the question of how ³open² open is, when everyone truly everyone - is genuinely welcome or free to move in, potentially putting the established neighbourhood (aims, agendas, neighbourliness) at risk . Perhaps that is the thing about online neighbourhoods we select, to the extent we can and because we can, who our neighbours are. Returning to the fact that ³loving thy neighbours² is a lot easier to do when you know (or chose) who your neighbours are.

It seems to be my kind of hood in many ways, but as Annie, said, I¹m not really a neighbor, I¹m not really in. (Which may be one very understandable reason why no-one but you has responded). So, at the moment the call is extended to different [actual and potential] neighbours as well. When I come to the point of actually visualising ³the² neighbourhood, I¹ll need to make decisions. Will it be specifically this one, Or, one made up of those who chose to respond? Then, what would that mean? [Editing the neighbourhood! Letting it fail.] but, it¹s interesting.

(altho the netbehviour neighbourhood is indeed open to anyone who wants to be a part of it). neighbourhood is a really interesting concept to explore, since it's changing so much at the moment. we don't choose our neighbours & even if we don't interact with them a lot they can have a huge impact on our lives (& us on them ... ). h : ) On 30/04/11 5:06 PM, list|marianne wrote: > Re: [NetBehaviour] Visualising the netbehaviour neighbours - and the > neighbourhood Hi Annie, > I appreciate your honesty very much, and think you¹ve hit the nail ...
