In More on multiple communities, I worried about extreme right-wing groups forming networks, and actually found an article about this by Luca Tateo in the Journal of Computer Mediated Communication (JCMC).
On a more positive note, check out the other interesting JCMC articles at http://jcmc.indiana.edu/ .One is about how teens explore their identity in blogs and the language they use. Another is about the language of online intercultural community formation. The JCMC website has had a bit of a makeover since Susan Herring became the editor. It’s easier to search and navigate to the relevant articles.
