New sites on MUDs and MOOs:
- Who designed the first MUD? Here's one source as a History
of MUDs.
- If
English is a second language for you or if you are interested
in
multi-cultural exchanges, visit
SchMOOze U, which is an
educational MOO. There's an excellent set of
links and explanations on
the HP.
- An interesting article that should be read along with
Dibbell's is Josh Quittner's "Johnny
Manhattan Meets the Furry Muckers" in Wired 2.03 (March 1994).
There are references aplenty to the "Bungle incident." || And be sure to read Allucquere Rosanne Stone's "Violation and Virtuality", which is now Ch. 2, "Risking Themselves: Identity in Oshkosh," in Stone's The War of Desire and Technology at the Close of the Mechanical Age, MIT Press, 1995.
