Just to let everyone know, the lovely Andrea Baker has just had her book published, titled: Double Click: Romance and Commitment Among Online Couples with Hampton Press To quote: "It's the first scholarly book using primary data written exclusively about close online relationships, drawing from the fields of sociology, psychology, and communications. Research for the book is based upon the 89 couples who filled out email questionnaires, with some providing email correspondence and follow-up interviews. The couples, ages 18-67, came mainly from the US, with representation from Canada, Europe, and Australia. A qualitative study, the book contains many quotes from couples who present their own experiences. Couples met at dating sites, in online discussion groups, and during chats and games. It follows the process of initial attraction through communicating through text, through meeting at the first f2f encounter. The book analyzes the issues of honesty and deception and factors of success and failure among the couples."
