The community on internet is probably the activity where everyone does online, intentionally or unintentionally. The definition of it can be as broad as groups of people who share the same interest get together and exchange any form of infomation. Because each community have a particular form of share code or language, which made the new participant need time to get used to and adopted that form of culture in order to be part of it.
The relationship between individual user within the a community contain several aspect, which mostly related to the identity. In identity, is referring the "individual" who being represent on the internet, not the one who is typing this blog. Avator is one form of simple representation of users, which is probably the most popular choice by internet community users.
The social asset can be reset by switching between different communities. With the experience and knowledge which construct by one user, they will be recognize through the Avater. It is a bit like coding, the way that people talk, along with the avater, thats how virtual identity is being recognize.
In addition, the idea of Brigding and Bonding also taken into account when we look at virtual community. I believe whether or not a user have a strong tide or weak tide toward the community, its depends on the mater of time and experiece, but most impartant its the value that the individual held from his actual self.

Internet
As far as intenet development goes, the participation of user is vast. And with the trillion of data which contain on the virtual, it is hard to do a research single hand. The traditional way of research included two approach. The quantitative and the qualitative. Basically one is focus on more about the activities and the other one is more about the frequency.There are disadvantages in both approach, hence a single way won't be able to present a comprehensive result about the study.
Secondly, the similarity of virtual culture and the actual culture where we all living in right now is pretty close. There are different culture within the internet as well, not only subject-wise, as well as identity-wise or many more other aspects. This form of Virtual Sociology had an impact on the research approach which is the ethical issue. Not only in the sense that different meaning from variety of culture, but also gaining permission for accessing the require information. The lack of info could lead to insufficient data calculation which alter the result.
Internet would still be consider as a relatively new medium. Imagine the time when scholar spent on knowing studying television. Internet would need at least the same amount of time and possibly soon to be develop theory to understand the way that it function.

Hackerz?
Im still going through the readings for this week and before all the things slowly start making sense to me, I would like to take this moment to note something down about what I think about Hacker in my sense.
Hacking as a term for me is a bit like rebel. Its seems like looking for a type of revolution in the world. I am here just to say, you know, maybe thats what those people are believe in. To make some changes in a non-virtual-moral-inappropriate way. They are those people that who notice the "bugs" in the systems.I mean, whats wrong of picking up some bad apples from the trees.
Okay, things went a bit complicated with the all breaking the law, in associated with money, kinda like those people who have the money control the law type of theory. Thats ideological, money is the power, thats understandable. "Robinwood is always the criminal" thoery.but in a sense, thats the "informaton free" idea for capitalist. Isn't it?
Thats so far I can type. will edit a bit lateron. had a long day.
