| Abstract: | The influence of member tenure on individual communication patterns in virtual groups is examined in this paper. It is shown in a content analysis of e-mail communication among members of the group during a 3-month period that in virtual groups, newcomers primarily exhibit an information seeking mode in their communication and established members exhibit an information providing mode. |
