danah boyd (@zephoria on Twitter) is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research in Boston, Massachusetts and a visiting researcher at Harvard Law School. She has been studying teens on social networks for almost a decade, first becoming the global expert on MySpace (see her PhD dissertation and other publications, including Why Youth (Heart) Social Network Sites: The Role of Networked Publics in Teenage Social Life, and more recently helping to contribute to a MacArthur-funded project that led to the report Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out (for my notes on the first three chapters of this text, head here). I spoke with danah on Monday about the effects of web technologies on how kids “do” youth culture in a hyper-connected, networked public, and she offered her observations and advice. Here’s the unedited 14 minutes of the interview, which became part of a feature on this week’s Tech Weekly podcast for The Guardian.
