Abstract

Moments after announcing the need to study the sociology of human-to-human, computer-mediated software, Clay Shirky brilliantly gets busy, drilling down into the specific phenomenon of flaming, reminiscent of the great ethnographies of yore, more like Margaret Mead's studies of the sexual habits of Pacific Islanders than a typical software paper.² - Ed.
