Online community
The term virtual community was most likely first used in 1994 by Howard Rheingold, defining it as: groups of people who may or may not meet face to face and who exchange words and ideas via a keyboard. In the book published in 1993: The Virtual Community: Homelessness on the Electronic Frontier, Rheingold defines social aggregations that appear on the Internet when people's discussions last long enough, with enough emotion, to create personal relationships.
Online communities can be defined in various ways. In a basic sense, these are all communities of people - even if temporary - gathered around a common goal or discussion on a topic of interest to everyone.
According to Esther Dyson, an online community is "a community in which people live, work and play." This definition more closely resembles the characteristics of a real society (or a section of it) that regulates all spheres of human activity.
An example of such a community could be: KioskSocial
