but this place is a sociological gold-mine. I'm amazed the researchers haven't already come digging, I would've expected at least some media/ sociology/ digital anthropology Masters students.
Makes you want to stick around doesn't it?
If the digging wasn't so tough at present, I would expect there to be plenty of research types snooping around.
I had that feeling of, 'i need to write a book on this place' when I was heavily involved in the video chat world over a decade ago. Although unattached to money, the social/interaction side of things well, I've never seen anything like it. Gold, in a melting pot.
I would opt for Homestead first, and If you have time, some words later :)
