  1. Encouraging cyberanthropologists to use and contribute to Webnographers.Org – a collaborative wiki for the organization of resources that provides, in effect, a cyberanthropologist’s toolkit, including: a directory of researchers, projects, organizations, conferences, and blogs; a library of pertinent books, articles, papers, syllabi, and videos; a list of useful tools for virtual field research; and a brainstorming section.

    Thanks for posting these!
