I think of danah boyd as a next generation Sherry Turkle (Second Self). danah writes about teen and social media from the perspective of an anthropologist/sociologist. I can recommend her most recent book (It’s complicated). An introduction to her work can be gleaned from a recent interview with Leo Laporte. Her comments on teen online behavior should be reassuring to teachers and parents. I did also learn that danah has serious chops as a CS major.
BTW – the lower case thing is somewhat of a homage to her mother.
