"we really do need to spend more time thinking about identity & community creation on the Internet."

no doubt. imagine what the statistics in that study will be in 2013?

of course, it's going to be hard to convince academics that the need to study electronic discouse and digital culture is a nessary part of writing instruction. it just doesn't fit with the service to the univerisity attitude which informs much curricula development. it won't be until after the rest of the academy sees a need for such study that the case can be made.
