I came across this interview with S. Craig Watkins, author of The Young and the Digital and professor of Radio-Television-Film at University of Texas-Austin. This interview raises a range of issues we’ve talked about…There’s an interesting part on “safety,” an issue that Laura has raised in class. There’s also some interesting stuff on the “migration” of people from MySpace to facebook as they move from high school to college.

Their reason for the migration from myspace to facebook is very interesting. When I switched, these factors did not cross my mind unless it was subconsciously and I never noticed. I understand the safe sharing factor but the racist reason? Wow.
