Abstract: This paper examines how teens understand privacy in highly public networked environments like Facebook and Twitter. We describe both teens' practices, their privacy strategies, and the structural conditions in which they are embedded, highlighting the ways in which privacy, as it plays out in everyday life, is related more to agency and the ability to control a social situation than particular properties of information. Finally, we discuss the implications of teens' practices and strategies, revealing the importance of social norms as a regulatory force. (This paper was presented at Oxford Internet Institute's "A Decade in Internet Time: Symposium on the Dynamics of the Internet and Society" on September 22, 2011.)

Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments, too. Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show and receive comments on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies. A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents and videos, and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in five ways: using voice (with mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam).
