The Human Condition : Friends With Benefits: Do Facebook Friends Provide the Same Support as Those I
I don't know how Facebook really does in other areas such as: supporting non-profits and support groups? In terms of school friends, I find it as a mixed bag! Due to the reason of a mix bag of privacy from Facebook, some decided to head to Ning network to socialize. Some have their own networks or Twitter! I also take the advantage of live streaming of information from Facebook rather than doing much of the major connections of friendships. (there are only a few that I do!)
