Danah Boyd and social media

I've mentioned Danah Boyd before on this blog, after reading a Ross Todd "tweet" about her - here is a video interview with her...

Danah Boyd, "high priestess" of networked social media, interview
After presenting the keynote address at the American Association of School Libraries National Conference, Danah Boyd, the "high priestess" of networked social media, discussed the role that school librarians should be playing in their students' social networking activities, how to cut through the red tape that may be preventing them from filling this role, and how Wikipedia can and should be used to teach students about information.

Danah Boyd and social media

Here is an interesting person - Danah Boyd - her blog is at http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/ "Buzzwords in my world include: public/private, identity, context, youth culture, social network sites, social media."

and here is her self-selected "best of" her blog http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/bestof.html

"Over the years, i have written numerous posts about social media, social software, social networks and other industry-relevant topics. Colleagues often remark that it is difficult to sift through my personal blog to find relevant material. For that reason, i decided to put together a "best of" to highlight the essays that are most interesting to newcomers interested in social media. Right now, these are just recent essays and blog posts that deal with particular issues in depth. If you think that a particular entry should be listed here, please let me know! Better yet, add it to del.icio.us or to digg - i'm watching these sites to see what entries are particularly popular or useful. "
