Danah Boyd’s “Social Networking cite” Definition

In today’s world it is hard to define anything involving technology because things are changing so fast and our culture does not move that fast. We don’t have the backgrounds to say that the definition is limited to just this cite or this application.  A more general definition could be given like Boyd tried to do with any cite that involves talking with people you don’t know, but now who is the define what a cite is or isn’t.  Our world and culture are not understanding of the broad general definition that are needed to define a term that is used in technology.  Just like Boyd tried to break it  down to just social networking sites, when the world said he was too narrow.  I don’t think we are capable of defining something that so many people have already formed their own definition of.  Maybe Webster can help us or who ever is the authority on technology terminology.  I may be way off, but that is my take on the culture of defining social networking cites.  I sure feel sorry for Danah Boyd because as she pointed out how frustrating it was.  If you get specific your not broad enough and if you get broad, it isn’t specific enough.  Good luck, Danah Boyd!!
