I'm interested in tracking down the origins of the phrase vitual
community. A friendly Yale library undertook a Nexis search for
me and could find nothing earlier than Rheingold. Rheingold thinks
he may have read it somewhere but isn't sure. In a paper that's
been submitted for publication in a meteorology journal, I've
attributed Rheingold with coining the phrase, but I'm uneasy about
this.
Rheingold definitely did not originate the phrase. For an earlier
published usage, see the proceedings of the CPSR-sponsored symposium
Directions in Advanced Computing 92. As part of this symposium, I
organized a panel discussion titled "Virtual Society and Virtual
Community". This title was arrived at through discussion with Douglas
Schuler, the symposium organizer. So we may have coined the phrase,
although most likely it was floating around before we used it. BTW I
believe that Rheingold attended this event.
