In Chapter 4, Nancy Baym discusses what makes an online community different from an online group. Baym references five qualities – space, shared practice, shared resources and support, shared identities, and interpersonal relationships – as being necessary to the creation of a community. (Baym 75) While doing research for our second short paper, I came across what I would deem an online community and I think it has all five of the qualities Baym laid out. The subject of my paper was an anonymous person on Twitter who went by the handle AndreasBurnBook, and she took on the persona of the character of Andrea from The Walking Dead television show. AndreasBurnBook, or the ‘Fake’drea’ as I call her, is part of a larger group of people who participate in parody accounts of other core characters from the same show. Going through the last six months of her/his tweets, I discovered that there was a lot of interaction between this group. Tweets between the group evolved from being solely about the show to dealing with more personal issues. The group tweeted encouragement to each other when they needed support for things like bad days, lost jobs and even loneliness. Messages exchanged between them showed that they had some kind of relationship off of Twitter, with references to emails, phone calls and text messages.The fact that they do not share the same geographical space was not an issue for them. They all shared the same practice of live tweeting during the show, and they even participated in question and answer forums together off of Twitter. Even though they operated under anonymous identities online, they shared aspects of their true identities with each other. The strongest community tie that the group showcased, though, was their obvious support of one another. Although the accounts all typically post snarky or humorous Walking Dead references, the members of the group had a different relationship amongst each other. When one account was almost banned, the other members spearheaded a Twitter campaign to save it. When a member would tweet that they were having a bad day, the others would send them funny pictures or uplifting messages. It was obvious, after reading six months worth of Andrea’s tweets, that they had in fact formed interpersonal relationships with each other. Its possible that these relationships will eventually fall apart after the cancellation of the show or when one member decides they are no longer interested anymore. However, offline communities fall apart in much the same way, like friends that lose touch after graduation. The important thing is that they are very much a community. So, what is the difference between an online community and a random online group? An online community goes farther than just a shared set of interests or ideals. They show an obvious concern for each other, and they form actual interpersonal relationships that exist in the real world, even if they never meet in person.
