It has been invaluable in my own thesis on Facebook and surveillance. The whole defriending thing is sooooo interesting. I love your writing and research.

But I have defriended people in the past who I do not trust - regardless of whether I still see them. The defriending of the 150 people was for privacy reasons. I use facebook a lot and there were some people on there who I never saw, had no connection to and in some cases it was a pain in the ass to see certain people's constant ramblings. I don't see it as a popularity contest, it's just facebook ya know? I’m in my 20s and recently defriended 150 people.

]]> Comment on reflections on writing a digital ethnography by Maximilian Forte http://jennyryan.net/musings/2009/03/reflections-on-writing-a-digital-ethnography/#comment-225 Maximilian Forte Fri, 24 Apr 2009 05:26:51 +0000 http://jennyryan.net/musings/?p=254#comment-225 Jenny, thanks very much for having done this interview with one of my students, it was very kind of you to take this time, but beyond that it was actually very valuable for me to read your observations and reflections. You make several key points above, often better than I do, or you raise different points altogether. Would you allow me to use this as an assigned reading in future classes? I am also thinking of incorporating at least a chapter from your thesis as assigned reading, if not more, as I begin a desperately needed overhaul of my course for next year. I have hit a brick wall and I think that it is now "all wrong."

There are some people I don't want popping up in my news feed. Funny thing is that 'cause she is friends of some of my old friends she still pops up in my feed. It's not just your friends you have to worry about but their friends too.. I befriended an ex only to defriend her not long afterwards. There are some people I don’t want popping up in my news feed.

I am cleaning out my computer, cleaning out my head, and starting to re-assess why and how I cultivate my digital incarnation. It's a fine line to walk between making the most of the connection and opportunity available through these mediums/ falling into the pond.
