Folks, I'm delighted to tell you that Keith Hampton and Barry Wellman's paper has won second prize (aka Honorable Mention) for the Park Award for an Outstanding Publication, given annually by the American Sociological Association's Community and Urban Sociology section: "Neighboring in Netville: How the Internet Supports Community and Social Capital in a Wired Suburb." _City and Community_ 2, 3 (Fall 2003): 277-311. It's nice to see Internet based stuff recognized by a non-Internet section.
