How do people have relationships when they are apart, or develop them when they've never even met? From MySpace and weblogs to romance and sexuality, this book draws together a range of studies on "remote relationships", investigating the intricate, intimate ways that people forge connections online.

Using empirical data, these collected essays explore a wide variety of relationships, examining the methodological and ethical issues that researchers face. Remote Relationships in a Small World , part of a new generation of online studies, responds to the need for research that focuses on social relationships.
