Abstract
The chapter details the results of a 2009 research project on the use of ICTs by 18-24 (n=50). Specifically, it deals with technological imaginaries, and explores a. the social meaning conferred to social networking sites and utilities by the sample and b. how these meanings appear to rank in a scale of "intimacy" which appears to work for the users as the organizing principle of the geography of these platforme.
