***********

I did project last year which examined the imagined communities which evolved around the use of social software. My study looked at Wikipedia, the Blogosphere and Folksonomies. Of course, much of my work was based on Benedict Anderson's 'Imagined Communities'. This could be a cool lecture to attend.
