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 about once
a month, depending on how much time I have available for my cyberspace
exploration.
The bulletins are now available in a html version available at
http://www.cybergeography.org/bulletin-1-2.html.
We are happy to acknowledge the support of CORPEX. They are kindly sponsoring the Cyber-Geography Research web site.
