She writes and researches extensively about youth culture, social media, Friendster, MySpace, Facebook etc.

This interview was given for the Discover magazine and includes reference to much of her research on youth culture, MySpace and Facebook. The Discover magazine describes the interview as a look at what what kids are doing with technology, where mobile phones are going, and the Facebook vs. MySpace smackdown. The interview is lengthy but well worth it. The introductions around the table are a bit of a detraction however they add an element of “friendliness & intimacy” to the video.
