[Air-l] RE: networking communities

[Keith Hampton]

There is also the Netville project. A detailed comparison (ethnography
and survey) of the social networks of wired and non-wired residents in a
broadband neighborhood. I'm giving a few talks on the project in
Minneapolis, and copies of numerous papers can be downloaded from my
website http://www.mysocialnetwork.net

Cheers,

-Keith
