Her argument does make sense. Maybe the growth of a network is similar to the growth of a city? That's what I was thinking when reading the article. You start off with a village where everybody feels a sense of belonging just based on the fact they share a location and recognise each other. But if more and more people move in, you can't know everyone any more. After that, maybe a sense of community starts to require sharing something more than just proximity - it might require shared interests or activities?

It was an interesting article, thanks.
