Danah Boyd’s Talk at UNC
Danah Boyd gave this talk on September 14, 2006 at UNC-Chapel Hill where she discussed social networking, teenagers, social software like Friendster & MySpace, and her research interests. The ibiblio folks have uploaded a video of it to their site. It’s by no means a formal talk but rather a spewing of random ideas, thoughts, and observations.
The video (.mp4) can be viewed here.
