4.0 out of 5 stars A Virtual Look into Virtual Communities, 10 April 2001
Howard writes this with the passion rarely seen in this type of book. Having been one of the earliest 'Internet' pioneers, his insights are often valuable. His sense of humour, as well as his outlook on life, make this a very good book to read and learn from. This is the wrong book if you're looking for a list of tools & software to start a Virtual Community. But a must if you interested in the social context these communities are based around.
