Re: what kind of..
Sameen has a point here .. it takes sometime to realize that web based soical networking could add vlaue in ones life, on the other hand, it could suck value out of your life.
But it is just like real life. We all have to use our common sense before commiting to anything, be it real life realtionship or online friendship.
One thing that I observed, people dont realize that how soon an online chit chat could turn into serious companionships and before you know it, people know where you live, your name, email and even your phone number ..
So if one is new here, one should not take comfort in opening all his/her life secrets thinking that one will never be close to these people and they will always be online strangers.
Moderation is very important
