Marc Canter is pushing “Digital Lifestyle Aggregation” and Robin Good says “Personal Media Aggregators” are the road to create instant-vertical-communities.

I have seen this work in blogdom – it was through email that we found each others blogs, and through RSS that we hear about virtual meetings. And it is through our blogs that we comment on them later. I also see this same convergence in organizations and churches – where it is the combination of multiple events and experiences that give identity to new groups, rather than the singular event. Modularity, rather than Singularity.
