I'm always impressed when I hear Danah Boyd speak. Heard her at NetRoots Conference talking about how people isolate themselves in community online (e.g. MySpace = virtual ghetto) and thus our fabled use of the internet to spread information to the poor wasn't working as well as we'd hoped because we kept excluding them from the websites where the opportunity was... etc. This one sounds about right too, the generational gap in how we think about the privacy/publicity tradeoff, that we as techies think of privacy as an information problem and most people think of it as a public perception problem (e.g. "don't want to get embarrassed"). Good stuff. Hope this article gets upvoted to the top!
