very interesting... for more reading on "social networking" i would encourage you to check out dana boyd's site: zephoria she is extremely intelligent and way into networking sites and the ramifications that come with them. happy reading :)
post script: while the fear of having a current or potential employer stumble upon an incriminating photo on certain networking pages has me dillute stuff like a pg rated movie, i feel that overall the positive impact of networking sites is astounding. my belief is that these current sites are just the beginning :)
