As I was walking to work just now I was listening to a podcast on <i>mediated social spaces</i>, aka, MySpace, etc. The two biggest problems that kids on the network face are (a.) "dealing with" those who would lord power over them, such as parents, teachers, potential employers, and (b.) predators. The author of this paper pointed out, to my surprise, that the most common predator isn't a pedophile, but the far more common "predators" of spammers, scammers and marketers. It's sobering to be called a predator, but I understood her point. And yours. Thanks for your thoughts. Of course you are right, Holly.

That doesn't, of course, mean that people don't network on it for other reasons, but I'm not sure that everybody who logs on is interested in being marketed to. Even if my curiosity is piqued, I know that my "sales resistance" is higher than usual when I'm in what I perceive as a leisure environment. (As if such a thing exists anywhere on the net these days.) That's why myspace depresses me -- that volatile mix of cruising and self-promotion seems unhealthy to me.

I am glad you told me about seeing me on Twitter Public timeline. Cool. I do enjoy twitter, I have a lot of traffic from it to my blogs. Did you setup your rss feeds to be auto published on your twitter? Build up your twitter network, invite new friends, participate, digg others requests, and they will come.
