We use an agent-based model to study the diffusion of innovations in a community of synthetic heterogeneous agents whose interaction preferences depend on their cultural similarity. The community heterogeneity and the agents' interaction preferences are described by Axelrod's model, whereas the diffusion of innovations is described by a variant of the Daley and Kendall model of rumour propagation.
