>This year at IFTF I am leading a project on Virtual China -- trying to

>Internet practices are changing daily life in China, and how it matters. The
>research will be ethnographic in nature, across virtual and physical spaces,
>and in China and the Silicon Valley.  It will be, as all our work at IFTF
>is, somewhere in between academia and business.

>I look forward to learning from the list, to immersing myself of the
