In this show, the GenTech Boys attempt to tackle the issue of digital social networking as generally characterized by MySpace and other profile-based social software. It’s a tough issue and the Boys come out pretty one sided against MySpace, and they remain rather unconvinced of it’s potential benefit in the classroom. In an effort to give profile-based social networking a fair shake, they decided to solicit feedback from listeners, and to touch on the subject again in coming weeks. Please, do comment!
