"When you think of a title for a book, you are forced to think of something short and evocative, like, well, The Virtual Community, even though a more accurate title might be: People who use computers to communicate, form friendships that sometimes form the basis of communities, but you have to be careful to not mistake the tool for the task and think that just writing words on a screen is the same thing as real community.
