The WELL is a computer conference system located in Sausalito,
California.  The WELL is one of the better known computer conferencing
systems in the country.  It has a distinct culture to it rooted in its
location in the San Francisco Bay Area and its founding by people who
created the Whole Earth Catalog and the follow-on publication, The Whole
Earth Review.  

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of The WELL is the community of
people that use it.  Many writers, journalists, and other well-known
figures make use of The WELL.
