Terry Anderson bumps into the idea of the "network of practice", a concept attributed to John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid, which is the idea of a collection of people not so tightly bound as a 'community of practice', but which nonetheless share some of the same characteristics. He then applies this analysis to the education blogosphere and - not surprising - find that it fits. Except.
