danah boyd has a post called " On Being Virtual " (be sure to read the comments) As Kevin Gamble on the SLED list notes, what she seems to be saying is that if you look at the rise of social tech amongst young people, it's not about divorcing the physical social structures to live virtually.

There have now been a couple comments on this blog to the effect of: "Visitors already create content in museums through their thoughts and social interactions."
