Orbit Model, Dec 21, 2023

I wouldn't call this unique - the idea of levels of engagement and 'attractors' at the centre of communities has been around for a while. But this website takes the metaphor and runs with it, developing a comprehensive and consistent vision. I like it. "People love the things that bring them happiness and value, especially their favorite communities and people. In the Orbit Model, we prefer words like love and reach to words like engagement and influence. Using the words that members do helps us stay grounded in their experience." Via Joss Colchester.
