but nothing i wasn't aware off before or i couldn't figure out for myself...

in essence they confirmed what most already knew in these forums! ;)

Most people I know on Facebook seem to live a whole other life apart from their real selves. I often wonder if Facebook et al offer people the opportunity to project a side of themselves that they'd like people to see other than the reality of themselves. For example, a (by marriage) relation of mine projects an image of an altruistic, cheerful and loyal friend to others. The reality is somewhat different though!!
