Howard Rheingold is the author of the classic monograph “Virtual Community:Homesteading on the Virtual Frontier” (1993). The volumeis the product of participant observation of the emerging “tribe” of cybercitizens (netizens), who at the beginning of the 1990s inhabited the early online world. The tribe had created their own subculture, with a jargon, values, and identity all their own. It was an utopian world, yet a world that evolved and over time gave us the social customs and expectations with which we approach online social spaces today.
