Can people connect instantly over Facebook?
An interesting blog at Mashable asks whether Facebook can make people instantly connect. Ori Brafman says with all the news about Facebook’s never-ending privacy problems and the exodus of angry users, has the real story been overlooked?
Specifically, is Facebook limiting people’s ability to actually, well, connect? Ori has done some research into the things that make people connect instantly.
He says, “From meeting someone at a work party to that special spark on a first date, instant connections aren’t just intense; they can have a substantial effect on the overall tenor of the ensuing relationship. Research has shown that teams that click tend to work more effectively together and couples that had love at first sight are more passionate with each other even after twenty years.”
Ori says that Facebook indeed does foster some of these connections, but there are specific factors, or accelerators, that trigger such connections. Read the whole mashable.com blog here.
