Campbell Live is promoing one of those "what are your kids up to on the net, and what happens to all that personal information they put up?" stories for tonight's show, have a look-see.
Official blurb goes like this... "My Space and Bebo are online social websites where your children can make friends and share interests. But how much information are they safely sharing? And could the confessions they make in cyber world come back to haunt them in the real world much later in life?"
Sighs....
CORRECTED Just spied at PA that dahnah boyd is on Campbell Live tonight - might not be total media hysteria, then?
Russell Brown's Public Address is hosting MySpace commentator danah boyd this Saturday...
"It's been a while between drinks, but we have a new Karajoz Great Blend for you all - well, those of you in Auckland and Wellington anyway. Our star guest this time is danah boyd of Berkeley University. She's probably the leading social commentator at present on MySpace and related phenomena. There's a Wikipedia entry for her, you may well enjoy Identity Production in a Networked Culture: Why Youth Heart MySpace, her address to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in February, and her blog is here (you may care to leave a comment welcoming her to Aotearoa).
The Auckland event is Saturday, July 1, at the Grey Lynn Community Centre. Danah will be joined there by Justin Zhang, Robyn Gallagher and Peter McLennan on the panel; Matt Gibbons and his Starlords collaborator Bruce Ferguson will be in the house, Great Blend TV will screen, and SJD will round out the evening playing songs from their next album. It's likely that I'll add a panellist or two, and there may well be a surprise guest with some things to say about digital media."
Hope you RSVP'd cos it's all full up. Now excuse me, but I must crawl back into my hole to continue thinking up pithy things to say for saturday night. If you're at the Auckland event, come up and say hello. I'm very polite and well-mannered, thanks to by good upbringing. Honest.
I'll also have a new post on MySpace going up tomorrow, specifically music-related.
