Conducted dissertation field research on the social imaginaries and practices of media production and consumption in Cyborganic, "an influential early Web community." My dissertation, Communities of Innovation: Cyborganic and the Birth of Networked Social Media, examines the way this group of San Francisco Web workers integrated networked media into their work and daily lives during the first phase of the Web's development as a popular platform. Cyborganic members were on the launch teams of Wired magazine, Hotwired (the first ad-supported online magazine), c|net, and the Apache project. The genres, media, discourses, and cultural practices developed in this milieu were key to the initial development of Web publishing and prefigured "Web 2.0" in online collaboration, collective knowledge creation, and social networking. 1996-1997 Research Analyst, Emerging Technologies Group, Institute for the Future, Menlo Park, CA Consultant to the Outlook Project on Intranets and Telecommunity—an ongoing research project on group oriented technologies and services (i.e., groupware, computer-supported collaboration, Internet, and intranets).
