danah boyd on Googlem, Facebook, and privacy

A Gigaom report on boyd's SXSW keynote. She's quoted saying "Just because something is publicly accessible doesn't mean people want to be publicized." She criticized Google Buzz since the settings for privacy are easily ignored. (My sense is that Buzz doesn't seem to allow for much granularity. I don't mind some things going on on Buzz, but other things...not so much.) She's put up a draft of her talk at http://www.danah.org/papers/talks/2010/SXSW2010.html (I admire boyd's work - For one thing she gets Lady Gaga.)
