Let me think about this. Hmmm. ...Good question K... Let me think about this. Hmmm. I try not to reveal too much, because there are so many weirdos on. My serious relationships I nourish on MySpace. I don't share too many photos on FB, because I don't like there policy on owning them automatically. On FB I have mostly just acquaintances whom I play online games with and they don't have to know everything. Anything else can be known publicly, I quit having secrets, that way I can't be blackmailed. Some people I'm closer to, with them I message on MySpace. On both sites I have my selfhelp groups about my illness. As you know I'm retired, so I'm on the internet in general to distract myself, and find some people who seem to really care about my well being, or who can at least relate in some ways. I'm on there to seek advice and get other points of view. I know whom I will never find online... my real life partner. He hates what we're doing. And my child? For her it's necessary to reconnect with her friends and classmates. We both try to be polite, eventhough at times I would like to throw my opinions into peoples faces *lol* and then I think twice (if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all)... I notice that family members who live far away and former real life friends, don't appreciate too much involvements or commenting on what they share, they seem to be bothered by it. Religion and politics seems no good subject to share, that splits across the big lake as it looks like. Well, other than that I'm just so happy to have you and M. I just wished you wouldn't be such a stranger all the time. We used to share more info. Still waiting for that one message that fills me in. *hint* Anyway, my thoughts on the subject.

The ones I've tried (with my Swedish pen-pal) have been awful. Is a human translator the only sure thing?<br /><br />Regarding Facebook, I think the administrators themselves could use an etiquette lesson: it seems the ulterior motive to the whole idea is marketing, and to that end the privacy is only as tight as a user specifies. The catch is that one has to be vigilant about fine print, because the default settings are always wide open (and new applications seem to develop all the time).Katohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972672933781755839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-82959913732015674912010-04-21T18:38:39.303-07:002010-04-21T18:38:39.303-07:00Indie, how well does Facebook protect our personal...Indie, how well does Facebook protect our personal information from the prying eyes of total strangers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-18596437915794361982010-04-19T11:51:50.640-07:002010-04-19T11:51:50.640-07:00I think it's sweet how Americans long for grea...I think it's sweet how Americans long for greater understanding of the countries their ancestors couldn't wait to get the heck out of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-20407481007946342962010-04-19T01:38:56.001-07:002010-04-19T01:38:56.001-07:00Yes, I live in Borås.

My english is of course far from perfect as well. <br /><br />It must be tough to learn swedish in USA. How/where do you learn swedish? By your self? from books?<br /><br />In Sweden we get to learn english as a second language in school from the age of ten. Also we are fed with american movies, tv series and video games. So i read and hear a lot of english, but write or speaks it very seldom. Therefore i believe i´m are very good in understanding english, but having problems to write or speak it.Rogerhttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode&q=svensg%C3%A4rdegatan+18&sll=58.813742%2C14.150391&sspn=7.861334%2C19.709473&ie=UTF8&hq&hnear=Svensg%C3%A4rdegatan+18%2C+507+30%2C+Sweden&ll=57.722876%2C13.003993&spn=0%2C0.02738&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=57.722913%2C13.003835&panoid=iM9gQJEj6sGN0SV-93Bwaw&cbp=12%2C179.45%2C%2C0%2C6.69noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-17928037392428731832010-04-14T13:26:16.050-07:002010-04-14T13:26:16.050-07:00Roger, Tack för att skriva!

Ellison et al. From Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Vol. 12, No. 4. (July 2007), pp. 1143-1168.<br /><br />"This study examines the relationship between use of Facebook, a popular online social network site, and the formation and maintenance of social capital. In addition to assessing bonding and bridging social capital, we explore a dimension of social capital that assesses one's ability to stay connected with members of a previously inhabited community, which we call maintained social capital. Regression analyses conducted on results from a survey of undergraduate students (N = 286) suggest a strong association between use of Facebook and the three types of social capital, with the strongest relationship being to bridging social capital. In addition, Facebook usage was found to interact with measures of psychological well-being, suggesting that it might provide greater benefits for users experiencing low self-esteem and low life satisfaction."Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333639250952967951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-44028750460056467042010-04-11T11:49:29.370-07:002010-04-11T11:49:29.370-07:00Can you cite your study, Anonymous?Can you cite your study, Anonymous?Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333639250952967951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-67970987460375356272010-04-10T15:53:52.573-07:002010-04-10T15:53:52.573-07:00Good luck kicking facebook, everyone!
