“The Limits of Social Networks”
“While toying around with Google+, Kevin Cheng wonders if it’s worth grouping everyone he knows: [O]nce I’ve created these fancy Circles, will I actually remember who will see a given post? From my experience organizing my Facebook and address book, I’ve found that I don’t remember the complex taxonomies I dream up. In fact, I don’t know that I can list every person that’s in my “Family” group in Flickr even though it’s less than twenty. When compounded with the high overhead of maintenance and likely outdated groups over time, it’s even less likely that I’ll know who I’m actually sharing a post with.” –Andrew Sullivan, The Daily Beast, July 20, 2011

Dante on Twitter
“You’re not really dead until you’re tweeting on Tweeji. Tweeji is the original dead celebrity’s [sic] website. We’ve brought together some of the most intriguing personalities from Twitter so you can follow the latest ‘from beyond,’ all in one place. You can even sign in to your Twitter account right here and reply, re-tweet and follow the dead without leaving Tweeji.” —Tweeji

“Putting Your Best Cyberface Forward”
“In general, scholars do not think of impression management as an intentionally deceptive or nefarious practice. It is more like social lubrication without a drink in your hand. Those studying it online have found that when people misrepresent themselves, it is often because they are attempting to express an idealized or future version of themselves–someone who is thinner or has actually finished Dante’s Inferno.” [. . .] –Stephanie Rosenbloom, The New York Times, January 3, 2008
