Denise, Look at Mapping Cyperspace. They also have a website. Not exactly what you are looking for but certainly will map network density for you in very interesting terms. My suggestion is that you look in the geography and maybe economic literature. Hope this helps! Good Luck, looking forward to seeing your work. If you have anything interesting to share at this point, I would be interested.

I have tried to isolate a seminal text on communication theory as it relates to the formation of virtual communities - and failed! I have read broadly in communication, cyberculture (particularly from the titles included in the cyberculture canon list that went around recently) and anthropology, sociology, education. Clearly I am missing the forest for the trees and I am hoping for some light. Thanks, Denise ===== "Stupidity is not just a lack of content; it's also a process" Denise N.
