Danah Boyd
Via misbehaving there is a New York Times Profile of danah boyd found here.
OK, so I followed the trend and joined Friendster. Now what? It's a bit funny that I have one friend on this thing.
Danah talks about Nielson Data today.
"Nielsen//NetRatings found that the growing online community of personal sites visitors consisted of Internet savvy adults. This report uncovered the online habits of those surfers logging on to dating sites and found that 84 percent of visitors to dating services are online five or more times a week. Additionally, 37 percent have been online for seven or more years. Those using an online dating site access the Internet to send online invitations, search for homes and apartments, download MP3s, look for restaurants and participate in fantasy sports leagues. Online dating sites are keen to understand the habits of users to maximize reach of online ad campaigns"
I will have to look at this more in light of my recent post on Internet dating as a class issue. But I suspect that the internet savvy represent a certain demographic.
