  • Abstract
    Rheingold and Turkle treated virtual community the same as the community in the traditional sociology counterpart. Facing the huge online community constituted through web2.0 structure, we need to rethink the essential base of a virtual community. Bakhtin´s dialogism theory offers us a new interpretation to treat a virtual community as a heteroglossia social network.
