Licklider, J. C. R. and Taylor, Robert W., "The Computer as a
Communication Device," Science and Technology, April, 1968, 21-31,
speaks of communities of "communities of comon interest" as opposed to
communities of common location. The context was scientific resarch
and collaborative work using networked computers. Not the exact
phrase, but perhaps the meaning you are looking for.

[Moderator's Note: J.C.R. Licklider may well be the most influential, and
least publicly recognized, person in the history of computer science. He
set ARPA on course towards constructing ARPANET and directed Project MAC at
MIT; he also funded Engelbart's work on creating the mouse and windows. If
anyone has recollections of Licklider, I think we would all be delighted
to read them.]
