Value of Social Networking to Individuals
Excerpts:•Each little update — each individual bit of social information — is insignificant on its own even supremely mundane But taken together over time the little snippets own, even supremely mundane. But taken together, over time, the little snippets coalesce into a surprisingly sophisticated portrait of your friends’ and family members’ lives, like thousands of dots making a pointillist painting.
•Merely looking at a stranger’s Twitter or Facebook feed isn’t interesting, because it seems like blather. Follow it for a day, though, and it begins to feel like a short story; follow it for a month, and it’s a novel.
•For them, participation isn’t optional. If you don’t dive in, other people will define who you are So you constantly stream your pictures your thoughts your relationship you are. So you constantly stream your pictures, your thoughts, your relationship status and what you’re doing — right now! — if only to ensure the virtual version of you is accurate, or at least the one you want to present to the world.
•“If anything, it’s identity-constraining now,” Tufekci told me. “You can’t play with your id tit if di i l h ki

Naked Conversations
“Formality suppresses dialogue; informality it F l ti d encourages it. Formal conversations and
presentations leave little room for debate. They suggest that everything is scripted and gg y g ppredetermined. Informal dialogue is open. It invites questions, encourages spontaneity and critical thinking Informality gets the truth out It critical thinking...Informality gets the truth out. It surfaces out-of-the-box ideas -- the ideas that may seem absurd at first hearing but that create b kth h “breakthroughs.“
