I guess if "MySpace Whore" is out, then being a "link whore" is out too? What happened to Danah is sad and a bit funny, reflecting a strangely reductivist view of language that is completely at odds with technological affordances of communication. Maybe she should have run her whole proposal through a translator and put it in Victorian era speech. Ah, the possibilities. MySpace Harlot? Link Strumpet? MySpace Courtesan? Link Tart? Lady of Easy MySpace Virtue?

Oh, and the title is a bit of Blake, who wrote:

"What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate?"
