Social Media and Relationships

Matt and Gwendolyn Seidman talk about the differences that come with forming relationships online versus forming relationships in person. For example, many people tend to open up to others online because they feel more anonymous and have a sense of control over the conversation. This, in turn, helps the relationship move more quickly because the opening up process is happening sooner. The gang discusses social media terminology. Matt and contributor, Meg Conley, participate in a friendly competition to determine who knows more about social media.
