Mark Poster's take on the virtual community was mind provoking and ground breaking because of the time his theory was presented. I also considered virtual communities such as Second Life and The Sims and real online communities such as facebook, myspace etc.
To be honest, I am probably one that most would consider a facebook addict but it's because I definitely think these kind of social mediums help me stay in touch with friends from high school and reconnect with friends I had back in elementary school.
However, back in the myspace days, what is "real" is not "real." People constantly Google images and post it as theirs through a fake account. Or here's another example - meet sexy singles in your area. This YouTube vlogger, Natalie Tran, does a great job of approaching this topic with a satire attitude in hopes of shedding light to what has become of this "online" community trend.
