danah boyd meets Bill O'Reilly, and they actually have a reasonable conversation about MySpace. Who knew?

danah boyd (who never seems to use caps when referencing herself) was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly on Fox News. O'Reilly played serious softball with her. His voice was even up a few notches toward the beginning of the interview. Normally only crying war widows get that treatment from him. For Danah's sake, I'm glad. She is nice, smart, and liberal. None of which O'Reilly does well with. If MySpace wasn't a News Corp property, O'Reilly would have taken the opportunity to get righteous in the name of defending helpless children, and bitten off her head off. When it come to opinion leaders in the social networking space, danah is the queen bee. If she didn't have so many good things to say about MySpace, or New Corp didn't own MySpace, I'm sure that interview would have gone differently.
