Network Communities: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed . . .

Mynatt, O'Day, Adler, Ito

This 1998 paper discusses the genre of 'network communities' which are described as "...robust and persistent communities based on a sense of locality that spans both the virtual and physical worlds of their users." The authors' discussion is based on diverse experience and insight gained from the prolonged use of four systems: the Pueblo MUD; the Jupiter hybrid MUD/media space; the PARC/EuroPARC analog media space; and the Georgia Tech digital media space.

The title is word-play which alludes to a prevalent sub-text running throughout the paper that network communities are an amalgam of old, new and borrowed aspects of culture and techology.

The methodologies employed include participation, use, and ethnographic techniques. The analytic perspective is grounded in practice and the familiar tenets of participatory design and action research.

Among the important concepts utilized are affordance, persistence, periodicity, boundaries, engagement, and authoring. The imagined design space is concerned with the relationship between the 'real' and the 'virtual'; the rhythms or temporal patterns of use; and the evolution of technology and social practice in response to and in anticipation of participation in a network community.

In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence... and loathing seizes him.

There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
