    Spammed a lot: Anti-social networking

    In the same week as our latest Girl Geek Dinner it seems appropriate to post a little, and lament a lot, about the experience of networking. As frequent readers of this blog know I’m an academic at heart, used to the conference rounds and being able to put yourself ‘out there’, engage with some fabulously [...]

    Not such an innocent chick: Trust, complexity and overexposure

    As I have blogged before, mediated social identity raises complex issues. And so it is fitting that I share with you a recent experience that has impacted upon my ability to enjoy the relative freedom of navigating across various digital media (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube to name but few!). Somewhere between a latent introduction to a [...]

    A Treatise on good social breeding

    Breeding matters. At least that is what writers such as Austen and Bronte have spent so much of their literature qualifying. For livestock, good breeding represents the health of the stock. Translate this over to social networks and it becomes not a story of qualification of how many, but rather the quality of networks. The [...]

    Web 2.0 as the new master?

    As has been discussed before, here, and pretty much everywhere else around the Web, version 2.0 is distinguished as the ‘new’ (or rather latest) set of social tools that is ‘open’ ‘intuitive’ and above all a ‘seductive’ way to spend our time. What we have available to our finger tips are a range of new [...]

    Why im a horse of course

    So the culmination of the research that I am conducting as a ‘social analyst’ and that goes into the depths of what I have tentatively termed as ‘new social media’ is beginning to come to together. By new social media I mean Web 2.0 and all it has to offer, as well as the various [...]

    Web 2.0 says: Who are you?

    Such a deceptively ‘simple’ and harmless looking question. Perhaps it is my state of mind as an social analyst that provokes further discussion of this innocent sounding query. That of I’ve been reading far too much Foucault and Freud lately. Whatever the cause this little ditty got me thinking. I’ve been trying to define and [...]

    Masculine Parade

    Now some of you are going to say that its only ‘envy’, and yes there is a certain level of lusting involved, but did anyone else find Apple’s launch of the iphone a tad over-masculinised? I appreciate that as Girl Geeks, despite our Radio 4 guest appearance on Friday morning, we are rather slim on [...]
