Microsoft’s Marxism in defense of MySpace : Finally a Danah Boyd speech that I like…
…but maybe she’s just too much in love with MySpace after having worked on this website for so long…
…and buying their numbers too easily. I am still skeptical about the “division” between MySpace and Facebook she’s talking about. It looks like she’s getting somewhere, but missing it in the end.
From my point of view, it’s more about people learning a tool, and then leaving it on the side as their life go on and they do something else (once you dated on MySpace and got married, you don’t need to date again on Facebook).
