Psychology of social networking

2 September 2012 8 Comments

We tend to over think some things in life and here’s proof. Do you suffer from high levels of narcisim or low self esteem? Or, maybe you use Facebook, because it’s just a fun way to keep in touch with friends?

I utilize Facebook as a marketing instrument – but I also keep in touch with my friends and acquaintances.

For me it’s definitely not true that I compare myself to others in any social network, especially not Facebook.

Thanks for sharing this insightful infographic, will share it as well… on Facebook of course

Hey Frederik, I checked out your blog. I love the feature at the top of the story which tells readers how long it will take to read the post. I’ve not seen that before. I didn’t see anywhere to leave a comment though.

Like Frederick said, it is a marketing tool. For me it is too.
But I know people who are obsessed with social networking. And they live there, if I may say so. And the best part, these people are becoming more and more.It replaced with real communication because it is convenient. Human by nature is lazy)))
Thanks, for the post

Hi, Sherry–I like this graphic. We use Facebook and Twitter to promote our blog, but also to meet and discover others with similar interests and different views. Social media is great for spreading the word, but in our experience, it works best when it’s truly social–when people engage with others, provide useful info, and respond to others’ posts.

Hey, sorry for answering so late. The feature you meant is a little plugin that I customized for my needs. You can find it in the WordPress plugin repository: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/read-time/

Happy New Year!
