You could find moderators of various lists (past and still existing) and get lots of narrative data about this sort of things. and then you could find the participants of those lists - narrow it down to a few lists of your interest though or you will be overwhelmed by the volume of what you get ;-) r
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for examples of virtual communities that gave bearth to other virtual communities. I mean that the members of one virtual community (a mailing-list for instance) decided to have two virtual communities instead of one. The first one is about a subject and the second one is about another subject (linked to the first one, more specific, for instance).
Have you ever heard of cases like this?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Emilie Marquois-Ogez
