 >Hello everyone,
 >
 >I'm just getting started on my PhD studies, unfunded as yet,
regarding 
 >new social technologies and online communities and would really 
 >appreciate any hints, tips and advice members of this list may have
on 
 >good information sources, relevant publications, events and so on.
 >
 >Broadly speaking, I'm interested in how communities extend from the

 >online to the offline and vice versa, how participation in online 
 >communities becomes part of every-day life, how the lines between 
 >offline and online communication and relationship building are
blurred 
 >as access to online social tools becomes ubiquitous. More
specifically, 
 >I am looking at how new social technologies affect local
communities and 
 >what developers should take into consideration while creating new
tools 
 >with a view of fostering online community. I hope to come up with 
 >results that offer an insight into how the concept of community is 
 >changing for members of a hyper-connected society, and the
implications 
 >of that change for local communities. My research approach is
ethnographic.
 >
 >It would be great to hear from others with similar interests, and
also 
 >perhaps to discover fellow "sufferers" at similar stages of their 
 >academic careers, for a bit of mutual support and encouragement. :)
Of 
 >course, any advice would be hugely appreciated!
