Online socialising…
...an article I got from Walter without any reference to the author.
Two facts the article mentioned I found particular interesting:
- News Corp. was paying a huge amount for facebook
- Seok Kang found out, that online chat has a negative effect on social psychological well-being [1] - "online interaction with a lack of non-verbal cues leads to offline loneliness and depression".
