hi sophia! i'm curious about your thoughts on "social software" in relation to others' approaches to that term. for example, matthew fuller's discussion of "social software" in Behind the Blip: Software as Culture. or the work in social software by De Waag and Sarai? do you feel that these approaches to the topic are addressing the idea of "social software" in ways that mesh with your work - and/or do you see distinctions?

on an unrelated topic - in your essay you discuss websites that are designed in ways that seniors often find off-putting or difficult to navigate. i'm curious whether you find these issues also arise in print media? for example, magazines in the style of "wired", i'd imagine might also suffer these problems. (while wired itself is of course difficult to navigate for most age groups. :-) )
