title: #glocalization talk at Etech#
link: #http://feeds.feedburner.com/Many-to-many?m=23#
description: #<p>Last week, i gave a talk at <span class="caps">O&#8217;R</span>eilly&#8217;s Etech on how large-scale digital communities can handle the tensions between global information networks and local interaction and culture.   I&#8217;ve uploaded the crib for those who are interested in reading the talk: <a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/Etech2006.html">&#8220;G/localization: When Global Information and Local Interaction Collide&#8221;</a>. </p>

<p>This talk was written for designers and business folks working in social tech.  I talk about the significance of culture and its role in online communities.  I go through some of the successful qualities of Craiglist, Flickr and MySpace to lay out a critical practice: design through embedded observation.  I then discuss a few issues that are playing out on tech and social levels.</p>

<p>Anyhow, enjoy! And let me know what you think!</p>

title: #Clash of Uncivilizations#

description: #<p><a href="http://www.minorityrapport.com/">Jon Turow</a> passed on an <a href="http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2006/03/09/arts/14810.shtml">open letter</a> to Mark Zuckerberg in the Daily Princetonian.  Facebook recently expanded from college to <a href="http://hs.facebook.com/">high school</a>, resulting in a clash of uncivilizations: </p>

<blockquote>&#8230;If we really wanted to, we could steer clear of the groups by just avoiding the high school profiles. But we can&#8217;t ignore it when they post on our walls. And my god, do they post. Unfortunately, they don&#8217;t understand that by posting &#8220;OMG how are you? I haven&#8217;t seen you since our Model UN trip three years ago!&#8221; they are undermining the college personas that we have so carefully constructed over the past there years. And when a 16-year-old girl pokes us, we worry that poking back could result in a cyber-statutory rape conviction. Something tells us that when having sex with one of your facebook friends could result in a criminal violation, things have gone too far&#8230;.</blockquote>
