Danah Boyd writes the definitive paper on “friending.” She wrote this in December, 2006, but is worth bringing up since I talked about this issue this week.
Why link to this? Cause Danah’s my friend. Heheh. You have to read the paper to see just what might be meant by such a statement.
Seriously, one of the best hours I spent at the SXSW conference this year was on the floor listening to Danah. She’s the world authority on this topic. I’m sorry I didn’t link to this earlier.

i feel like singing “i am mr lonely”
my dad -way back in 2002 told me this_”i have faith in u my son. u are free to do whatever u want as long as u dont ask money”. i was given a comp -24 hours internet=in india in 2002 it was very hard and not cheap and given a pocket money of 100$ per month for not doing anything – just to sit and do whatever i wanted
i saw a lot of web sites good and bad
i was also engaged in a internet war with someone who told me he will hack me to death
i was asked by 4 people “do u love me?”

I think Shelly means to say danah doesn’t capitalize her name. I forget why… but it’s somehow pleasing to identify such a cool researcher in such a quirky way.
