Digital and networked technology "reconfigures publicness, blurs 'audiences' and publics, and alters what it means to engage in public life." The authors ask, What is the nature of public life online? According to boyd and Baym publicnness is shaped by both the architecture and affordances of digital networked media, and by people's social contexts, identities, and practices. People's socially-mediated publicness is an complex and changing process of media practices that blur private/public boundaries, interaction with multi-layered audiences, and performing persoanl identities. Hence, public life changes in networked society and culture, and people is developing new skills for navigating socially mediated publicness.
