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
http://www.cybergeography.org/bulletin-2-10.html
I am happy to acknowledge the support of CORPEX. They are kindly
sponsoring the Cyber-Geography Research web site.
