Ian Hughes: "I have been completely blown away by listening to the audiobook version of Seth Godin’s new Tribes book. (Thanks to @ids for shining the light on this one for me)
Why? Well Seth articulates not what we should have done as our Eightbar tribe, but what we actually did. Every line had me nodding in agreement. He has saved me the bother to write the story of eightbar and how our particular tribe formed in and around virtual worlds as he has documented what has happened and can happen when anyone, anywhere steps up to lead people with something they believe in."

The emergence of the networked information economy is unleashing two powerful forces. On one hand, easy access to high-speed networks is empowering individuals. People can now discover and consume information resources and services globally from their homes. Further, new social computing approaches are inviting people to share in the creation and edification of information on the Internet. Empowerment of the individual -- or consumerization -- is reducing the individual's reliance on traditional brick-and-mortar institutions in favor of new and emerging virtual ones. Second, ubiquitous access to high-speed networks along with network standards, open standards and content, and techniques for virtualizing hardware, software, and services is making it possible to leverage scale economies in unprecedented ways.

Personally speaking I much prefer PLN’s/PLE’s to VLE’s because of the notions of personal empowerment of learning and continuity. As useful as many centralised platforms are, the key issue for me is they retain user contributions, so learner contributed content isn’t necessarily portable.
