    What’s interesting about this – and many other blogs is the intersection of the personal and professional, although the majority seemed to lean towards her professional interests. I’m not sure if this is the nature of the Internet itself with encourages the reconnection of formerly segmented parts (e.g personal, professional, spiritual etc. parts of life) or if the Internet is simply a tool available at a time when people were reacting against segmentation and moving towards wholeness. Either way, the potential to embed the personal within her blog seems to provide an opportunity for her to connect as a leader of the WELL, something the articles by Rheingold and otheres emphasized as necessary for success.
