I've actually only just joined Facebook, so it's nice to find some other groups to belong to! I was particularly interested in the idea someone mentioned of the potential application of Foucault's ideas "confession" from his work on sexuality. It's not a part of his work I'm particularly familiar with, so I'll be going away to check that out further. I'm sorry you didn't find my Foucualdian analysis very sophisticated. I'd point out that this blog isn't supposed to represent my considered opinion on any particular issue, nor is it "academic" in any sense. Mostly it's just me tapping more or less at random. Perhaps you'd like to share your reading of Facebook and allied technologies in the context of Foucualt's work? bart, thanks for pointing me in the direction of “What the Foucault” – always interesting to read others points of view.

To be perfectly honest it's rather more sophisticated, in Foucaultian terms, than the one you present here.
