Another one from the drafts: Massive multiplayer online games as third places.

This one is interesting and it also relates to the name of this blog, so…

A major concern of home media such as television and the Internet is that they are replacing essential social institutions and community.

The Free Ryzom Campaign

December 19th, 2006 by Duarte Velez Grilo

Listen with webReader
