There is also the Netville project. A detailed comparison (ethnography and survey) of the social networks of wired and non-wired residents in a broadband neighborhood. I'm giving a few talks on the project in Minneapolis, and copies of numerous papers can be downloaded from my website http://www.mysocialnetwork.net Cheers, -Keith -- Keith N.
