Social networking sites (my personal impressions) part I
It`s a fact that Russia is overwhelmed by the variety of social networks and a lot of people spend their working time not working but sharing news with their virtual friends and exchanging information. Nowadays I can say for sure that they are the main mean of communication in Russian society...And I`m not an exception!...First I needed them to practise languages, to find new useful information about people all over the world....but now I like not only investigate but also just chatting...Oh my god...it`s unbelievable!...
But what really matters for me now is that you can know nothing about your interlocutors` age or social status but his nationality is clearly felt, and it`s not very hard to define it if you are an experienced "social network resident"...
Of course, it`s just my opinion but it was formed during the weeks of observation and analysis.
Now I can say that:
- people from Latin America are very suspicious and they really want to know why you added them to your friends;
- people from Africa and Arabic countries are eager to communicate, but their English is very poor, Turks - no comments (some of them are real gentlemen! but someitmes they can be very vulgar and rude);
- the most open-hearted are Russians and Europeans, they are easy to get in touch and just talk without any questions.
Of course, people are different, and they behave this or that way under the influence of their own reasons...anyway...it`s up to a man to choose the way to follow and communicate.
