Danah Boyd's blog essay looks at youth participation in online social networks through the prism of class. I had the opportunity to hear Danah speak at the UCC General Synod in Hartford, CT during the summer of 2007. She was enlightening!
You'll find Danah has a remarkable perspective on youth and young adult online activity that goes past the paranoia and panic that often colors the discussion of such activity. She starts from the radical premise (!) that kids are people worthy of respect and dignity.
I suggest starting with her Best Of... section. She is a prolific writer, so starting there will help you get a handle on what she has to say. Have a read and let me know what you think.
