I have run a rather large Yahoo group since 1997. Over the years I have joined many groups and left many as well.  I also belong to a number of other email-based groups. What has happened over the years is that it has become more and more difficult to manage my "multimembership" (a term I first heard discussed in this way from Etienne Wenger  in the context of communities of practice.)

Much of what I do for work and pleasure is mediated through groups and communities. The question is, how do I manage all this, particularly when they are spread across different online tools and internet locations?

With the advent of tools that allow us to mix and remix our web experience (aka Web 2.0) it seems like a good time to think about how we better manage our multimembership.
