I've found watching teens on MySpace is like watching a whole bunch of overlapping currents in a river - there is the general 'The River Flows This Way' statement which is undoubtedly incredibly important to be aware of. <BR/><BR/>But the finer details show when describing smaller niches, that is tribes or cliques which are the undercurrents, and offer a deeper colourful illustration of trends in teenage internet/SocialNetwork use which is important for understanding not only how the web is shaping physical social spaces for teens right now, but also how teens are shaping virtual social spaces -- and what that means for the future evolution of social etiquette on platforms like MySpace as well as in physical MeatSpace<BR/><BR/>I think it might be a personal insatiable need for thorough and occasionally overly complex information. I don't believe you're wrong in any sense, I just want *more* data on teen use of social networks which, as part of the demographic described, I might not be aware of or hold a blasé attitude towards. (You know the shelf life for information in this day...)<BR/><BR/>Of course there is the argument that by charting deviations and oddities and undercurrents in trends, one would start getting too hypothetical and break away from being a fact-based authority on the subject, to being an all and out theorist.<BR/><BR/>Man, I hope that made sense?J.Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697725448199241251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383248361968467665.post-91740746667300902662007-03-17T19:59:00.000+00:002007-03-17T19:59:00.000+00:00Help me understand what you have problems with. R...Help me understand what you have problems with. Recognizing that my work cannot describe everyone exactly, but instead works to describe trends, where do you think i'm wrong?
