Eszter's list

Eszter Hargittai, a brilliant doctoral candidate at Princeton (specializing in the sociology of the Internet), has started her own distribution list. Here's her first message, and you can pursue the link below to get further information. I'll try to pass on the best of her list, but those of you who want to get it all should consider subscribing. She's starting off by sending links, but let's hope that she also sends out some of her own very thoughtful ideas and insights. Those of you who want to see some of her previous papers can go to <http://www.eszter.com>.

cheers,
Mark
