Abstract
A special issue on Internet and community. Trends in Internet accessibility and use demonstrate that information and communication technologies are becoming increasingly integrated in daily life. People are now using the Internet in ways that drive change in communities, particularly where and how they are formed, and creating transformative effects on how to define, attach and retain communal identity across activities. The writers introduce the articles in this special issue.
