SIGVE - ISPR: International Society for Presence Research
Understanding, evaluating and researching online, virtual and in-direct forms of presence. Extremely interesting, please read.
Social presence theory was developed by John Short, Ederyn Williams, and Bruce Christie at a time when computer-mediated communication as we know it today was yet to be conceptualized, let alone implemented through computers connected via the Internet. In spite of that, the theory has influenced much computer-mediated communication research over the years.
