For example, text based CMC (such as newsgroups and email) does not provide the social and contextual cues that face-to-face communication has. This can be an advantage when communicating through newsgroups as the absence of information about social status, age and appearance might help to form a more “equal” basis for conversation.
The emergence of computer mediated communication and online communities has lead to the formation of complex online social networks.
The Internet can be described as one of the largest networks, for example, millions of users participate in UseNet newsgroups and post millions of messages.
