Welcome to the Cyber-Geography Research Bulletin. This is a regular, free,
email bulletin to inform you of changes and new additions made to the
Geography of Cyberspace Directory and the Atlas of Cyberspaces on the
Cyber-Geography Research web site. The bulletin is distributed every
couple of months, depending on how much time I have available for my
cyberspace exploration.
This bulletin is available on the Web at

I am happy to acknowledge the support of CORPEX. They are kindly
sponsoring the Cyber-Geography Research web site. Archives of all past
bulletins is available ( http://www.cybergeography.org/register.html ).
Please note that long web address may well break into two lines in some
email readers. Just cut and paste them together if this happens.

"A location-enhanced web will get people out of the house and give them
new ways to interact with the world around them. The net might be a tool
for localisation as much as for globalisation." Jim McClellan, "Get caught
mapping", The Guardian, 27th March 2003.
