摘要：The study analyses some of the aspects of e-mail postings such as number of posts, contributors and the topics of discussion on India’s leading e-mail discussion list, LIS-Forum between 2006 and 2011. It has been found from the study that during the period of study on an average; about 1600 postings per year, are being circulated on the LIS-Forum, out of which ‘announcements’ are forming the major posting. It shows, even in an era of several powerful social media and Web 2.0 tools, the e-mail based discussion list which is the earliest kind of social medium, continues to retain its relevance and popularity and it is evident from its usage by professionals in India to form their virtual network.
