  Web 2.0, community, and confidentiality

  Don't you have control over what you put into the profile?

  35 Perspectives on Online Social Networking

  Wow..... I haven't come across the word 'discourse' for too long....
  
  I miss uni!!

  Facebook: fostering real relationships?

  I think that common interest helps find people, but then there have to be other things for the relationship to grow. Just meeting another F1 fan is not enough. our personalities, other likes and dislikes, life experiences have to 'match' for things to move to the next stage. Not to mention time zones and sleeping/waking times

  Is it possible to establish trust in a virtual community?

  I'm not sure abt trust, but personally, I do find it hard to adequately express myself with only typewritten words.
  
  If I have an extended exchange with someone online, and they are consistent with what they say, I find that I develop a certain level of trust.
  get what I mean?
