Carmen Hermosillo

Carmen Hermosillo (died August 10, 2008[1][2]), A.K.A. humdog, was a community manager/research analyst,[3][4] essayist, and poet. A contributor to 2GQ (now New Oregon Arts & Letters), FringeWare Review, wired, and Leonardo, Peter Ludlow's High Noon on the Electronic Frontier,[5] and How to Mutate and Take Over the World,[6] she was a participant in many online communities including early chat rooms and internet forums such as The WELL, BBSs, and later activities such as Second Life.

In 1994 she published a widely influential essay online, "Pandora's Vox: On Community in Cyberspace",[7] in which she argued that the result of computer networks had led to, not a reduction in hierarchy, but actually a commodification of personality and a complex transfer of power and information to companies.[8]
