I don't know what this means for us, but

the airquote LJ Advisory Board includes Lawrence Lessig, founder of Creative Commons.

(And perhaps I should recognize the two other names besides brad, but I don't.)

The other two people are very well known people in Web 2.0 development, research, and criticism. Dyson actually wrote a book called Release 2.0 (before we knew it was called Web 2.0). And they're both women, which I think is cool.

Thank you! I wikipedia-ed them, but I wasn't familiar with them.

It looks good, doesn't it. (Emphasis of course on "looks".)

Boyd is really smart (I'd have a huge intellectual crush on her if I weren't so jealous of her brilliance). She's the one who first commented on the class and race dynamics of Facebook and MySpace (and why the Army wanted to ban MySpace but not Facebook). Dyson is really well-connected. I think she also writes for Wired. Lessig has decided that now he's doing something other than Creative Commons and copyright reform (but I can't remember what). And I have no information on Brad.

yup on all of these :) [with the crush and the jealousy...] i love her blog! (i think she first really registered for me in her astute analysis on why 6A was buying a community and not a product...way back when we were all still naive...

I should've been paying attention to her all along!

I've just been reading a little of danah boyd's blog and she does seem brilliant and fascinating.
