Just read this from the SOCNET mailing list which was sent by Barry Wellman. danah boyd (yes the lower case spelling is intentional), who is known for studies on Friendster and MySpace, and studying the youth in using these social networking services and acting as advisor to many companies and in politics, is going to join Microsoft Research in Boston in January 2009. danah wrote up about this on her own blog, Zephoria.
I think this is great for her and for Microsoft. She mentions how she will be directing her own research and how MSR is a great fit for her after she met with the MSR folks. Congratulations danah and keep us posted with your research.
And yes, I understand about the dissertation because I'm also in the same boat with finishing up the changes so I'll be ready for the defense.
