Not everything I want to say fits in a tweet. Of course, most of what I say I don’t think everyone needs to read. And therein is the line.

Or, as says Sherri Grasmuck, a sociology professor at Temple University who has studied Facebook profiles: “I become the social movement as an affirmation of my identity, rather than choosing the social movement because it matches my identity.”

“Just like we need stuff to furnish our homes to show who we are,” says Colding-Jorgensen, “on Facebook we need cultural objects that put together a version of me that I would like to present to the public.”

As usual, I am not a scholar (IANAS?), but this is pretty fucking awesome stuff. Sourced from a WP article.

More awesome conversation with Andy recently about many of these things, and a interesting quote from Amber at another conference:

Teenagers are leaving the letters “idk” on their tests when they don’t know. #isf09 @owyang

So many more conversations and thoughts than I have the time to write about. Life is hard.

Oh! Seattle BMF twitter and facebook page are up!
