Netlytic has successfully been used to analyze a wide variety of online communities and networks including: learning communities [1,2], communities of bloggers and blog readers [3,4], communities emerging on the i-Neighbors website [5], a scholarly community on Twitter [6] and most recently a community of Tolkien’s fan on the the popular website, TheOneRing.net, a website dedicated to discussions of Tolkien’s (text) and Peter Jackson’s (film) versions of The Lord of the Rings [7-8].
