Howard Rheingold tours the "virtual community" of online networking.

Howard Rheingold has been called the First Citizen of the Internet. In this book he tours the "virtual community" of online networking. He describes a community that is as real and as much a mixed bag as any physical community—one where people talk, argue, seek information, organize politically, fall in love, and dupe others. At the same time that he tells moving stories about people who have received online emotional support during devastating illnesses, he acknowledges a darker side to people's behavior in cyberspace. Indeed, contends Rheingold, people relate to each other online much the same as they do in physical communities. Originally published in 1993, The Virtual Community is more timely than ever. This edition contains a new chapter, in which the author revisits his ideas about online social communication now that so much more of the world's population is wired. It also contains an extended bibliography.

    2.0 out of 5 stars How to navigate in the virtual community
    Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013

    After reading a few chapter I still remain ignorant of how to get my foot into virtual communities as well as how to choose suitable communities. I would have loved to through some baits into these communities and see what comes out. OK, I need to scan the remaining part of the book but it doesn't look promising at this stage. The author obviously has considerable knowledge and experience but I find his presentation less helpful for my ambition to launch a rather extensive project on the internet including a multitude of disciplines..

    Uninteresting and quite outdated. It is very hard to relate with what Rheingold is saying. It is about an online Era that has come and gone.

    Ottimo servizio di invio dagli Stati Uniti. Il libro è utilissimo per chi faccia ricerca sul mondo virtuale e su come all'interno di esso si possano creare vere e proprie "culture". Numerosi gli esempi; forse troppi, unico neo del testo.
