The Socially Awkward Fail At Facebook

The Socially Awkward Fail At Facebook

A new study out of Louisiana State University proves what many already assumed about Facebook; it bolsters the social outreach of those who are already comfortable socializing. Not surprisingly, introverted individuals do find it easier to communicate via “The Wall,” but these inept social pariahs have a small circle of friends that they communicate with online.

In sum, the person with the highest friend count is probably not going to twitchy kid that sits in the back corner of the classroom who averts his eyes from any human in close range. Yet, attention slores (sluts/whores) will be able to continue the self-promotion they’ve always been good at. Damn you social networking!!!

The researchers were happy to note some other key findings. The study uncovered that students are actually friends with the people in the “friends” section. Purpose-driven college students aren’t sending out mass friends requests, instead they are exchanging vital information between individuals they’re comfortable with. Furthermore, Facebook is not being used at the college-based Match.com. Students aren’t sending booty calls or other hook up messages through Facebook.

Of all the other dastardly uses of Facebook, at least we can sleep soundly tonight because no one’s trying get their groove on in the Facebook world.
