I found this ebook which discusses the new found use of the internet for fans to meet and expand their fan base sharing information and discussing their love for the band, movie, game etc. This book also discusses how this use has caused a new shift in the way that the internet can be used, a 'Web Commons' which is allowing virtual social grouping through the internet.
