 Today, between the pop-up ads and the spyware, that sense of online community is still strong.

On Sept. 1, Legacy.com launched an online memorial event marking the fifth anniversary of 9/11. Called "11 Days of Remembrance," people were invited to share their thoughts on a series of daily topics, such as personal connections to victims, how the event changed priorities and what people would like future generations to remember about 9/11.

"11 Days of Remembrance" is part of the site's Sept. 11 section, which also includes a national book of remembrance with profiles of people who lost their lives in the attacks, and tributes written by friends and family.

The series will come to culmination tomorrow.
