I was thrilled to see the latest Journal of Computer Mediated Communications come out with half of it devoted to a look at Culture and Computer Mediated Communications. It has direct relevance for me in my international work, but it also is a fantastic resource for those of us who live in big countries and rarely have the chance to understand the context of cross cultural work in our day to day lives, but often encounter it online. Here is the index of the special theme section:
