We Commune is an online service that let’s you create an online space for a commune, which the website defines as a group of people with shared goals and interests.

The difference with other online services that let you create a social network, as Ning, are the more action oriented features, like a project management tool, and other features aimed to encourage sharing and exchanging services between commune members.

The platform is politically and socially agnostic, although some features indicate some preference for sharing and non-commercial relationships. It could be useful for starting groups and communities that don’t want to lose momentum or spend much time setting up a website, although self-hosted, free, open source alternatives are always preferable, to maintain control of data and information.
