I agree with you Tim, online social world will never able to replace the real (offline) social world. In fact, if we spend a lot of time on virtual (online) social world, it makes us feel empty, feel lonely when we don’t have internet connection.

I use fasebook to communicate with a special group. I am a professor at the Professional University of Amsterdam (HvA – the Netherlands) I find my students on Facebook. By linking Slideshare to fasebook I give them my Keynote (PPT) lectures the day before. It works! They comment my slides before I put them on the big screen in the auditorium. I can anticipate on there questions and use them in my lectures.

As a student coach I use it to. I can motivate them during there study hours. When there behind the computer writing an article or a essay they put there question and frustration on the net. I can comment on that, or just put a ‘come on!!’ or a thumps up on the wall. It dos the job.

On the other hand I us it to post important messages and give them interesting articles, blogs and websites. I used Twitter for that. But they don’t Twitter. I Twitter with colleagues from other departments about University issues.

There not my friends, there my ‘customers’, my pupils. But I go where they’re go. There on facebook if I want to communicate to them I must be there.

Good luck, form a very nice and sunny Amsterdam
