New forms of net based communities are now emerging, distributed on various websites and services, and making use of several media platforms and genres to stay connected. Now, as mobile and location-based technologies are reintroducing "place" as an important aspect in the formation of communal and social activities, it is time to consider and rethink the concept of online or virtual communities. Not forgetting the lessons we have learned from studying the early virtual
communities, how do we describe, analyse, theorise and design the communities and social formations of the early 21st century?

Submissions that consider Internet-mediated communities, groups, networks and organisations, and social experiences of place are encouraged. As always, submissions concerning all other forms of Internet research are very welcome.
