from Danah Boyd , on her blog :
" I am drowning in information overload. I cannot read everything that I want to, engage in conversations with everyone I'd like to, let alone deal with high-bandwidith content like video. Over the last decade, I've developed a set of coping mechanisms for dealing with online conversations. Ways of keeping myself sane amidst the onslaught. "
" For my own sanity, I need one pile of ToDo. So at the end of the day, the only channel that actually works for me is email. And if you need me to respond to something, don't message me elsewhere; send me an email. "
" This is exactly the kind of issue that Bernie Hogan deals with in his dissertation. "
