Offline vs. Online (Slides Paul Adams)
Many problems
Separate offline groups (family, hobby, sports, shared experience) exposed to each other online
Online activity is not exposed to only part, but the whole
Online, all "friends" are equal
We cannot keep up with all friends; we are only able to keep up with around 150
People have multiple facets of identity
People underestimate the size of their audience
Few opportunities
Distinction between strong and weak ties
Online easier to reconnect with weak ties
Online: easier creation of temporary ties
Still heavily influenced by opinions around us/of friends
