- Throughout the past decade, distribution lists have proved to be an effective tool for articulating professional communication. In fact, they represent a first step towards virtual communities. A specific case —that of IweTel— is presented, including a description of its evolution and how it has been used by subscribers, through a content analysis of messages sent from 1998 to 2000. The study shows the list to be used mainly for professional communication and information exchange. However, it also reveals a surprising lack of active participation by those subscribed. Although the presence of list moderators has contributed to substantial improvements, there continues to be a troubling absence of scientific or academic content in the ongoing debates.
