Considering that the task of “network sociology” is not only empirical research but also the interpretation of tendencies of the network culture, this research explores the rise of network communities within Eastern and Western Europe in the early Internet era.

Data comprise interviews with networking experts and founders and members of various networks. Investigating respondents{\textquoteright} motivations for creating online networks and communities, and interpreting those terms, allows for comparing the creative networks of the 1990s with today{\textquoteright}s social networks and for drawing conclusions.",
