That's a community. It doesn't have to want to be one. It is one whether it wants to be one or not. The evidence to date is that it's a rather wonderful community. And you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Search engines are still in their early days.
In particular they tend to give unwanted multiple hits on the same site, and they don't give the context of the hit very well.

In a sense you entered my cyberspace as soon as you started navigating the Web.
