As a Senior Researcher for Microsoft, danah boyd, (yes, all lowercase, she had her name legally changed), studies how we work, live, and play on the Internet. While the well-known researcher truly loves social media and the online universe, she also understands that sometimes we all need to turn off and tune out. In our Skype chat I ask danah about her slightly controversial email sabbaticals, which include bouncing emails and other sneaky tactics. Oh, but there is one person who always knows where to find danah, no matter how hard she hides.
"The thing about an email sabbatical is that it doesn't come straight out of the blue, it's something I set up over an extended period of time."
