You are right Yaro, the first to gain the critical mass, is likely the one that stays at the top, but like all other things… if someone has a better way of doing it, and they come in the right way, they can still beat the big dog. We have seen it before, when Yahoo was the largest search engine, but then all of the sudden an unknown Google came along and swept Yahoo under it’s feet, by providing a better service to it’s users.

I personally watched a trend when myspace was beat out by facebook, about 3 years ago. At first facebook was only a place for college students like me, but eventually it branched out to high school students also being able to use it, and then everyone else could too. So it is definitely possible to beat out any big dog in a respective field, but you gotta be innovative and be that much better than your competitor.

Till then,

Excellent article Yaro! I dabbled a wee bit in playing Magic, The Gathering with some friends, but the endless chase after rare cards and all the money spent on boosters that only added (maybe) one card to the deck put me off. Going online eliminates the killing of trees, and other associated pollution, so I really like that

As for the rest of the article, I like how you led into the phenomenom that is facebook, and to a lesser extent other social media offerings on the web, and how they are self contained communities, requiring different points of access from what search engines offer.

The key to building a successful self-contained community is building a strong early base and being prepared to work a lot of front.

Early communities are small and lack critical mass. You have to provide that or people will see it and think… no one else here so it must not be that great.

I think you’re right that in the future “community” is the way to go. People don’t want to just read articles online, they want to interact.
