		<description>An excellent analysis! I very much enjoyed reading it, although I personally don&#039;t see the forums as something having chances to make a mark online. They lack a few features that are better covered by social networks (even when they offer the possibility of more focused conversations). I think the success of a forum depends entirely on its community. But sure popularity shouldn&#039;t be what drives a user to a forum. As you say, sharing information and learning are more important. 
I don&#039;t participate actively in forums right now. I suppose I am what you might call a &quot;lurker.&quot; Somehow I don&#039;t find the time. But the idea of finding blogs is great. :) </description>
