Community of circumstance
A community of circumstance is similar to a community of practice, except that it is driven by position, circumstance or life experiences rather than a shared interest.[1] Examples might include cancer sufferers using a support newsgroup or the members of gay/lesbian newsgroups. A prison or other correctional facility can be thought of as a community of circumstance; passengers of the same plane form a temporary community of circumstance as well.
