Regarding the place - space conversation, a question comes to my mind. When we invest of ourselves in >cyberspaces or cyberplaces, are we investing in the space/place, or are we investing in the people that occupy >that space/place. As a researcher/practitioner in the development of cyber**aces that can encourage and >support the interaction between the people of a geographic locality, it seems to me that an understanding of >such things lies in the perceptions of the people that appropriate them as part of their lives.
i think (imho) that it is always worth looking at Lefebvre's ideas here - ie that social space is created thro social action - hence we can talk about particular landscapes of the internet that are 'social spaces' because people are investing in each other in that space denise carter
