I am a bit concerned about the relevance and the vitality of cyberfeminism today. I believe in the first time of the net, when Cornellia Frank, Donna Haraway, Sandy Stone, Anne Balsamo, Sherry Turkle and many others were active and produced books and bibliography, cyberfeminism was interesting and challenging. But the homepage you sent, Helen, is almost dead, the calender is not updated since 2003, the conferences are most archive things from 1999 and 2001, the personal projects empty. I guess people are trying to do their own things in other environments, as Second Life, etc. But I don't feel an atmosphere of multiple networking and collaboration. I am in several lists, Debian women, Counter Currents, Gender changes, but nothing is very exciting and vital. A lot of conferences, small networks, but few hubs nucleating women thinking in new banes. Ana
