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-3-4.html

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 on the site.

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.
