Facebook, Part I.

From the Willamette Week:

"'Facebook is completely safe from authority, and it's completely real within your network of friends.' [Every word posted on Facebook is attached to the author's name, photograph and contact info.] 'It's what makes it as real as if they'd said it in the cafetieria. IT'S MORE REAL, ACTUALLY, SINCE IT'S TEXT. IT'S WRITTEN IN STONE.'"
Isaac Holeman, Lewis & Clark student. Article written by Beth Slovic.

So there you have it. Facebook is utterly real. More so than face-to-face conversation. Clearly.
