architectures for publics
cones of silence
when are walls not walls?
picking flowers (or noses) in walled gardens

This show we are joined again by guest Laurel Papworth, social network strategist from Sydney. Laurel, Mike and I have a long discussion about social networks, the need for spaces where we can find the freedoms to be all who we are. A lot of the talk also goes into aspects of closed and open communities, the need to erect gates both to ourselves and our communities, where that responsibility should lay and a lot of other interesting issues about how we relate as people online. Facebook as the latest incarnation of the meme gets a fair bit of airplay.

This is a long one, two hours. But rather than cut it up, please make use of your pause button.
