Discover MySpace and Facebook

Do you have friends whom you only know from the internet and have never met in person? Is this different to people that you know in person? Describe the difference.
I have a few friends I know from the internet and have never met each other. There is certain different to the people whom I know in person. Chatting online with my cyber friends, I may totally be myself and I do not have to hide my emotions all the time. Although we share our life everyday online, we wont bother each other in real life. That is really good.

How long have you been using these communication technologies?
I have been using Widows Messenger for over 9 years. Facebook probably for over 1.5 years.

What influenced you to start using these particular technologies?
The reason for me to use Windows Messenger is to achive the goal of instant chat with my friends. I use Facebook because I want to know more people and contact them well. These two communication technologies help me to develop my network and more frends.

Is privacy an issue for you when using new technologies? (How do you deal with issues around privacy?)
I set very strong privacy on my Facebook. For both Facebook and Windows Messenger, I would like to add the people I know. I will not be bothered by strangers under the protection of privacy settings.
