Whitney Casey: Do’s and Don’ts on Twitter, Facebook and IM
April 3, 2009 | This entry was posted in Videos. Bookmark the permalink.
Whitney Casey, author of The Man Plan, talks about Facebook, texting and Twitter when it comes to relationships. Twitter has an account called reboundfinder that assists people going through a break up by introducing them to others who are also recently single. Facebook allows you to broadcast your relationship status to your network of friends. Text messaging and IM can make or break relationships.
In today’s episode we talk about the do’s and don’t in online relationship building and take a look at how communication on and offline allow you to meet new people and experience your network’s six degrees of separation.

Hi hi :)
Hi there.
I believe in the art of psychology in relationships online after this interview. There is so much to know that can really prepare you for how to deal with break ups online.
I belive in the realtionships online; are a rare but a good way to meet interesant people.
So about the break ups…. i don’t know lol.Sarah,
the interview is great. lots of useful information, i agree. having “suffered” an e-mail breakup, i can honestly say it’s made the list of things i would not wish on my worst enemy.
within one day of our breakup, she had deleted every possible connection to me–FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace–everything!
it made me feel sad for her, more than for myself…how messy!
Sincerely,
Russell Albert

I had a boyfriend break up with me once by the AOL chat. It was so horrible because the words seemed so mean. There is no expression in chat so I thought it was ten times worse. I could never be his friend again after that.
Kelly,
This is the core of my “argument” against online breakups. The world of Chat (similar to texting, naturally) is devoid of true emotion and expression. To be closed off by a wall of text…just doesn’t feel real. It takes away the human component from our interactions.
It’s sad, reallly.
Regards,
Russell Albert

Kelly,
I hope you can be friends with him someday and get over that he dumped you on IM. Thats lame, but you can do better.

Oh, and btw, Kelly,
I’m sure plenty of people can relate to that. I did it once with my girl friend. It’s like the silent treatment- it’s the worst. Wouldn’t want to do that again.
Sarah
Sarah,
We both know you aren’t a n00b at anything you do!
You should ask Whitney Casey about the ways in which Gaming Online can affect friendships/relationships, too. I had a friend recently who I cut contact with by deleting him from my Xbox Live Friends List. And every friend invite I’d receive from him–deleted.
Certainly this scenario is similar to FaceBook/MySpace…Still, there are abound to be slight nuance differences.
Sincerely,
Russell Albert

Oh sorry to hear about, @Sarah and @kelly, must be the worst experience on the internet,all the break ups are bad online or in the real life.
the psychology of the “Information Age” leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
