A few places you can find me in the media:

About Facebook! Forward March! Dreadfully snarky article in the Washington Post in which the author interviews many of the smartest people I know and comes away with a vapid piece trivializing our field.

Text Messaging and Social Networking Sites. Hour Long Call in Discussion on Up to Date with Steve Kraske (guest host, Laura Ziegler), KCUR (Kansas City NPR affiliate). This is a direct link to an mp3 file that doesn't work in Quicktime, but will play in other media players. If you open it in quicktime you will get the dreaded question mark. There were a lot of technical glitches that kept dropping me from the show, so I hope my answers make sense given the questions! June, 2007.
