thinking about ...
.... danah boyd. Her name rang a bell for me while watching the Frontline documentary "Growing Up Online" and today I finally remembered that I read a piece about her in the NY Times years ago regarding Friendster and her early interest in social networking. Fascinating stuff! Her blog (even mentioned in that 2003 article) has a typically brilliant and thought-provoking post up today about exposure, teenagers, and determining the limits of what we should (rather than can) do with social technologies. Her line of thinking perfectly illustrates the title of her blog - apophenia: making connections where none existed.
