“These editors have the respect, visibility, and track-record to make this volume a contribution to the field of Internet studiesIt will be adopted as an upper-division text and can also serve as a valuable reference work for doctoral students.  Given its broad mix of qualitative and quantitative approaches, this work should have wide appeal across the Social Sciences and Information Studies.”   -- Sandra J. Ball-Rokeach

"Society Online is an ambitious collection of articles, delivering the next generation of careful but eloquent studies of Internet use and culture. Both accessible and varied treatments, rich array of methodological approaches, intriguing data and provocative thought frameworks await the reader who would be curious to see if the internet context is already converging on some stability or still oscillating in search of its impacts and identity."

-- Sheizaf Rafaeli

"This is perhaps one of the most rigorously researched collections about online interactions and culture. The essays, based on a major initiative by the Pew Foundation, integrate data from other projects, such as the General Social Survey... The book is atheoretical, engaging little of technology studies, whether social construction of technology, actor-network theory, or others."

-- J.L. Croissant * CHOICE *
