Dabah Boyd on understanding social networks: "One of the things that I figured out really quickly is that having a
profile did me absolutely no good. I needed to have friends who would
interact with me so that I would get what it was like to experience the
technology as a mediating force. Thus, I have dragged my friends
kicking and screaming into using these tools just so that I could get
it."
