POPSToo old for networking? Do social networking sites work for the over 25s? I don't see why not. They work for me and I'm over 25. Perhaps I don't get the ten thousand comments a day I would get if I were a 16 year old on Bebo, but would I want them? And is it ageist to suggest that social networking is not for the over 25s?

POPSThis is your life (and how you tell it) I absolutely agree with this. The research that I do is heavily focused on personal narratives and subjective experiences. I want first-hand knowledge of their 'first-hand' knowledge.

POPSIraqi students brave the bombs I think this is indeed brave. If the same thing happened at my university, I likely wouldn't be seen for months. It also shows as well, I think, how different life as we know it is in Iraq.

POPSThat ain't white Interesting. More from the piece: On the other hand, white trash these days sometimes gets used as a badge of honor. Much like the way African American youth turned the despised word nigga into a word expressing pride and solidarity and the way that GLBT activists have turned queer into a source of dignity and respect, some white youth now use the term to signal rebelliousness and cultural difference—their refusal of a bland, mainstream white society that oppresses and stifles. And there is another popular use of the term as well. It’s sometimes used to name the rich and famous when they act badly or misbehave. So, despite her millions, Paris Hilton can be called white trash for her pornographic lifestyle, and George Clooney can tell us, in a self-mocking kind of way, that he’s really just white trash.
