Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
If the phrase "planned community" makes you think of terrible homogenous suburbs, take another look at the Internet. Though there are unplanned aspects and emergent behaviours, for the most part every detail has been designed by someone who thought they knew what they were doing. Can we do better? Human-computer interactions expert Jenny Preece takes apart our preconceptions and suggests new ways to improve our virtual realities in Online Communities: Designing Usability and Supporting Sociability. Part sociological review, part design manual, the book is dry enough to appeal to techies and academics while still humanistic enough to touch the organisers and activists who will put her ideas further into action.
Beginning with basic concepts of community and online activities, Preece moves on to survey research on the use of virtual spaces and then focuses on techniques to design and build optimal cybervillages for given needs and people. Using plenty of examples and case studies from actual Web sites and other electronic communities, she sheds light on tools that work to make them sustainable. Whether the current generation of e-planners will heed her words--and whether they can create something liveable out of the weird suburb/wilderness hybrid we have now--will be key to determining how 21st-century humans live, work and communicate. --Rob Lightner

little practical or academic value
21. April 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I turned to this book looking for (a) ideas to improve my own online community (photo.net), and (b) ideas to teach to my students at MIT. I was disappointed on both counts. Preece has a long section on online education but misses a main advantage: new opportunities for people to teach (the offline world already has a lot of opportunities for learning at any time of day or night). Preece talks about what she calls "technology". The mention of VRML in a book published in 2000 will please nostalgia buffs. But there is no discussion of the role of the relational database management system. Preece uncritically quotes various scholars of the female experience online, dwelling on the alleged fact that revealing oneself to be a woman is a passport to ill treatment (in fact, our experience on photo.net is that women who ask questions are answered more promptly and treated more gently if they violate community norms such as "search before you post").
You'll learn a lot more from surfing the Web site of Amitai Etzioni, the world's leading offline communitarian sociologist, than from reading this book.

A comprehensive guide to online communities
13. Oktober 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This extremely well documented book brings readers up to date with all we know about online communities (except for their economics). Preece's concept of community-centered design takes a big step toward bringing systemization and structure to the free wheeling world of online development. Business people will find many helpful "how to" guides, techniques and examples for community needs analysis, design, testing, monitoring and evaluation. Academics will relish her study documentation, references, articulation of continuing issues and recommendations for further reading. Students can learn much from the well documented case studies of several different online community applications.

Sociology of the Internet
3. September 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
I thought this book was GREAT! Sure, it's dated, but every book about the Internet dates quickly. That's because the Internet is growing and changing faster than the book publishing business can publish a book.
The author takes us through many aspects of community building and group dynamics point-by-point. I had to take notes, I found it so useful. Ideas are taken from sociology and applied to the Internet. Dry in parts, yes, but very useful as far as clarifying one's ideas about online communities.
As the manager of a small women's community online, I found this book very useful. Much more practical than Amy Jo Kim's similar book, which mainly focuses on the monster-sized for-profit communities.
The ideas in this book can be applied to any size online community. It's clear thinking will help you understand participant/leader roles in order to delegate responsibility. There are also wonderful hints for keeping a community thriving and successful.
