The Fray web site was/is amazing. I don't know why I'm so slow to admit that it takes some skill and strategy to create a world that people want to enter. But I was happy to find this book by the Fray's creator. It's a book I dip into from time to time, and often find things that I wasn't ready to learn earlier.

Interesting look at online community building. It's a bit old, but the concepts still seem to hold.
There's a crazy interview with Howard Rheingold where he basically predicts Web 2.0, MySpace, Facebook and social networking sites (the book was written in 2001), which is pretty impressive.
