@issue: Fast Company's Alan Webber on DesignYou can use the technology that blew up pyramidal organizations to create all kinds of community connections and relationships that previously were limited by geography or by the capacity of sharing and spreading information. One thing that is on the pulse of the moment is the need for people in the New Economy to have a sense of community, to reinforce it with well-designed communication tools, to design and develop their own rituals, their own practices that make the community more than just a cheap fad of the moment. That's what design does. It provides the recognizers and the habits and the signposts that people depend on so that you have more than just the trappings of community; you have the real underpinnings and muscle of community.
