I have divided the Learning Community Web Sites into two categories:
- Not for Profit (fundamentally “.org” sites)
- For Profit (fundamentally “.com” sites)
The For Profit sites support the Not for Profit sites. But, the key is, the Not for Profit Sites are more important.
The Not for Profit sites provide to the For Profit Sites:
- Content
- Direction
- Support
The model here is a “Teaching Hospital.”
This is a very important topic that needs to be fully flushed out.
