“…In the United States, these computing networks were still largely in the hands of academic communities. BITNET (Because It's Time Network), for instance, enjoyed its peak of popularity in the late 1980s (Grier and Campbell 2000). In addition, NSFNET (National Science Foundation Network) had become the backbone of the Internet by the end of the 1980s, and the National Science Foundation funded many universities to establish an Internet connection (Abbate 2000;Hafner and Lyon 1998).…”

“…This notion helps us theorize shifts in the configuration of relations between groups in dispute that lead to the partial resolution of conflicts. (Abbate 2000, 154-78;Grier and Campbell 2000). The X.25 model allowed the monopoly to use the telephone infrastructure while also retaining control of access to computing networks in the country.…”

User privacy has been an increasingly growing concern in online social networks (OSNs). While most OSNs today provide some form of privacy controls so that their users can protect their shared content from other users, these controls are typically not sufficiently expressive and/or do not provide fine-grained protection of information. In this paper, we consider the introduction of a new privacy control-group messaging on Twitter, with users having finegrained control over who can see their messages. Specifically, we demonstrate that such a privacy control can be offered to users of Twitter today without having to wait for Twitter to make changes to its system. We do so by designing and implementing Twitsper, a wrapper around Twitter that enables private group communication among existing Twitter users while preserving Twitter's commercial interests. Our design preserves the privacy of group information (i.e., who communicates with whom) both from the Twitsper server as well as from undesired Twitsper users. Furthermore, our evaluation shows that our implementation of Twitsper imposes minimal server-side bandwidth requirements and incurs low client-side energy consumption. Our Twitsper client for Androidbased devices has been downloaded by over 1000 users and its utility has been noted by several media articles.

This paper adds to the growing literature on the formation of online communities from an historical perspective [1][2][3] by telling of the emergence and development of a service for speedy, online distribution of recent additions to the broad literatures on economics and related areas called NEP: New Economics Papers as well as the online community that grew around it. We provide details of the social and technological challenges for its construction as well as the evolution of its governance. The development of NEP provides an illustrative example for the kind of new business models that have emerged as the Internet has been used by creative minds to provide existing services in a new way.
