Last January I wrote about a speaker I had contacted who was on email sabbatical. I didn’t name her at the time, but it was danah boyd, who, being back from sabbatical now, will be speaking at Web 2.0 Expo New York in November (though on her research, not on her email policies.)

I’m still a huge fan of this idea (though I haven’t had the opportunity to try it out myself yet) and was excited to see that CBC radio has done an interview with danah here.

Enjoy.
