Terrell Russell: This Old Network

David Weinberger relates a story from his recent New Hampshire visit to speak at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference:

One teacher said that a parent printed out his daughter’s MySpace page and told her he was going to post it at the mall. When the daughter objected, mortified, the parent explained that MySpace is as public as the mall.

I love this.  Online identity *is* public.

In fact, it’s *more* public, because it’s persistent and searchable.

Kudos to Dad.
