To speak with Wellman's terms, we have strong ties. I experience the weak ties (u eg.) to be of great value too. New insights and innovative solutions are hardly to be found within the core of a community, rather in the perifery (wenger). Thats why i find it a major skill for knowledge workers in this age to be able to connect with others outside the organization making use of web technologies and be able to link to organization ties.
