Virtual Commuity

Good start!

As a group we have all decided that we are happy to look at Virtual communitites.

So what do i know so far about virtual communities?

Well it is a big and contraversial topic, that is a start! So as a group i propose that we focus on a certain aspect or split the areas in which we research up. We still would not be able to cover everything.

Virtual Communiity can also be called e-comerce or online community, this is because unlike earlier non face to face communication was done via letters and phone calls. Now it is mostly done online via text based or joining forums. virtual places like my space, facebook and msn.

The idea of community takes a new meaning it know longer just means local like your neigbours it is global. You can interact with people all around the world with similar interests as you.

Wow!

Researching the term Virtual Community has directed me to Howard Rheingold who actually wrote a book called Virtual Community in 1993 so i am going to check him out.

I will get back to you soon on him!
