Dear Joseph Reagle, Many thanks for your continued liking of Net Surfers. Milena and I are proud of it, and it continues to be the most cited paper I have (co-)authored. You're right, The Qs remain relevant, but the e-world has changed since 1997 when we wrote it. My hunch is that the answers remain largely the same, but the examples would change. I don't plan on doing an update per se, and Milena is now busy working in the Canadian Goverment. However, Vincent Chua, Julia Madej and I are almost finished with a chapter for the Sage Handbook of Social Network Analysis on Personal Communities, which contains some Internet stuff, and a co-author and I are just starting a book tentatively called Netting Together which will deal with many of these issues. (I don't reveal co-author or publisher because it is too early: don't want to jinx things). Meanwhile, if someone else wants to redo Net Surfers, you have my blessing.
