Hi All, This just came out and the summary on this site has a few interesting statements, particularly this last one: "To a certain degree, all communities are 'imagined communities' -- that is, our sense of being part of a community is always something we must create in ourselves, and it often occurs through media." I thought this might be of interest to some xmca-ers.... I know that this last statement is quite a zinger for me. Not so much our sense of being a part of a community, but that communities are imagined. ~em Online interactions have positive effects for real-life communities http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/04/100405131730.htm Online interactions not only have positive outcomes for real-life, place-based communities, but the intersection between online communication and the offline world also forms two halves of a support mechanism for communities, according to a new study. _______________________________________________ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
