Certainly the concept of "community" emerged from the Internet has allowed think on identity and practices generated by different groups according diverse segmentation criteria. Thereby, "community" is no longer a concept only applies to Internet practices to become an emerging term of a new network definitions that analyze the different variables that group the subjects from either hard as soon as soft variables. This text reviews some of these approaches that are now part of structures to define segmentation sample in the social research. The concept of "community" promoves "new ecologies", rethinks life cycles and age criteria, provides values and motivation indicators in networks that are only analyzable from enactive processes and, therefore, profoundly diverse and self-generative.
