[Air-l] Birth of virtual communities

[joshua raclaw]

Hi Emilie,

I'm doing research on a social peer network and blog that split off into a
couple different directions when the original free site went to a pay site -
one of these offshoots was more specific in scope, the other far more general.

I'm wouldn't be surprised if the pay issue caused the same thing in other such
sites.
