Thanks Moses and Frank. One thing that I think what would be useful would be papers about practical applications of concepts in urban planning and architecture to online user experience design. So far I've found this, but have not read it yet: Building Virtual Cities: applying urban planning principles to the design of virtual environments http://tinyurl.com/ffef . I am also interested in reading about perceptions of public and private spaces in virtual environments, research into what kinds of "virtual signposts" have emerged in user experience design, whether by design or by social production, and thoughts on cognitive mapping in cyperspace. I'm not particularly interested in data or network topology visualization tools. This is prep work for a redesign of a very large corporate web presence, not an analysis of cyberspace, in general. Thanks in advance! Ruth
Hi Ruth,
I don't know if this fits to what you're looking for but I have a paper on social topologies giving emphasis on the fluidity of the Internet spaces:
