Net-Shaming on Craigslist
I ran across this video piece from mobuzz.tv while running around the nets this morning. It seemed particularly salient given all of the research I have been doing on anonymous online behavior on craigslist’s Missed Connections (here, here and here).
The content we generate on the internet always has a context, even if we are attempting to distance ourselves from those contexts. As this newscast illustrates, it seems we are all still unsure about how to negotiate our relationship with internet “anonymity.”
On the lighter side, check out Craigslist Curmudgeon, a blog that extends shaming beyond the confines of craigslist by featuring some of the more rediculous posts.
