Go to http://terranova.blogs.com/ 

It's where virtual world issues get posted and debated by 
most of the leading scholars and by the game developers, 
too. You'll also find a ton of links to people and papers in 
the area encompassing social psych and ethnographic 
approaches, but also legal and economic ones as well.

I'm a recent BA grad who is planning to enter a grad program 
focusing on
virtual worlds and digital media in Fall '06. In the 
meantime, I am looking
for meaningful work/experience related to those subjects - 
I'm particularly
interested in the social psych & ethnography of online 
cultures, and their
"emergent" qualities in relation to designers' intentions 
vs. players' use.

Any suggestions? I already know of the conference recently 
posted on the
listserv.

My apologies for adding to the inboxes, but I was told this 
would be an
excellent source of input. Thanks.
