“I need my blog to be an outlet for me to express things I’m seeing long before they’re ready for publication. I need to not have to couch every argument that I make on my blog in broader theoretical and methodological frameworks which means that I will continue to be taken out of context. If I had to write on my blog in the way that I write papers, I’d never blog.”
North American academic Danah Boyd on the responses to her paper on social classes, MySpace and Facebook.
Struth, even though I’m very proud of my academic outpourings, if I had a choice to either read my 2,000 or 4,000 or 10,000 word papers as blogposts, or go walk the dog, you’d better believe that even *I* would take the dog for a walk!
Stumble it!

Please note:
1. If this is your first time commenting using the email address you have given, your comment will be held in 'moderation' and won't appear until one of us here at BetterComms Towers approves it. This stops spammers from flooding our posts with garbage. It may take up to 48 hours for your comment to appear -- sorry!
2. This blog runs the WP-Cache plugin, which reduces the amount of processing our host's server has to perform on this blog. The result for you is that our site crashes less. The downside is that sometimes it might take a minute or two for your comment to appear. Please don't resubmit your comment if it doesn't appear straight away. Please be patient and try refreshing your browser after a minute or two... Thanks, Lee
