		<title>Stay safe on Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick (and cute) reminder to stay safe on Facebook, and to keep in mind that information in your profile is (duh!) shared with your Facebook friends:

I don&#8217;t have too much personal information in my profile (no home address), but most users share dates of birth and email addresses, which could be used to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming up: Total chaos?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In one of my previous posts I tried to explain how one&#8217;s sense of self emerges through interaction with other people.
The direct consequence of this dynamic is the idea of the relational self:

		<title>How do you learn social media social norms?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[cross-posted to my teaching blog]
Most of our social interactions are governed by scripts and rules that we internalize and apply when appropriate. For example, we all have the scripts of &#8220;first date,&#8221; &#8220;job interview,&#8221; and, possibly, &#8220;the talk.&#8221;
How do we pick up the social norms for these scripts? How do we learn what type of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is part of a series of post about building relationships online and the relationships we build online.
