In thinking about this image in the context of an “alternative networked public sphere”, it would be great to see another graphic showing how individuals and communities on the web are connecting to public access centers.

For example, how might individuals and groups using blogs, podcasts, video blogs, wikis, and other social networking tools - connected through a community communications center - be represented within this graphic? What could we learn from it? How could we use it “in thinking about how best to leverage these tools for community purposes” [1]?

Thanks to Jason for sharing this graphic and his experience/creativity in this area.
