UPI Proves once again that they read other writers stuff, cull out the nouns and verbs and publish that distillation and present it as if this was insight or news. No wonder the place is always hovering around bankruptcy. What a terrible Cliff's notes version of the Post story - which was bad enough. danah: You should examine the early life of Margaret Mead - who at age 26 made an international splash and was instantly in the limelight - and stayed there for the balance of her life. Once you acheive a modicum of newsworthiness - you keep being newsworthy until you fail to keep up with your own image. Play your media cards carefully and you'l spend a lifetime in the SoundBytes. Margaret said "Speak in Soundbytes" Alex Randall
The UPI version is much more problematic. The reporter suggests that danah boyd's critics are correct, and casts all the SNS research as worthless. Quite an unfair synopsis. --Christian Nelson On Dec 17, 2007, at 12:12 PM, Michael Zimmer wrote:

The UPI one is really beyond the pale. It's one thing to mock academia in general. But this is just a vicious, ignorant personal attack. -z On Dec 17, 2007 12:53 PM, Christian Nelson <xianknelson@mac.com> wrote:
