Relationships through Social Media

Social media is bringing a great change to inter-personal relationships. This poses a challenges to those involved, as well as enriches them in multiple ways. In a personalized relationship, physical features of the person play dominant roles while in social media, it is the intellect of the persons which steer the relationship.

In social media, most of the contacts are one-time affair. They come into contact for a limited purpose of requesting visits to their blogs and fly off after that. Although, they are also marked as friends, they are just casual contacts. But even in such contacts who have eal intentions of staying in contact if they find the two are at the same wavelength of thinking. 

Most of the social media participants are bloggers who write their views, opinions, experiences, etc. on their respective blogs. The contents and the language both reflect on the intellect of the writers. This provides an opportunity to the readers to select a contact on the basis of the intellectual output of the writers. It is not necessary that only the established authors write good, many amateurs outperform many established writers and they must be appreciated.

A blogger can judge another blogger on the wavelength of him/herself to be and remain in contact. Reading the blog and commenting on the posts is a good and purely intellectual way of keeping in contact. This does not put any compulsions on any of the writer and the reader to respond as desired. Both remain free to be selective in their responses. Moreover, there are no personal remarks, so the interactions are purely intellectual which are enjoyed by both.

Sometimes a problem comes up when a reader of a blog expects reciprocation from the writer to read te blog and respond in the similar way.This condition of reciprocity is undesirable, nobody involving him/herself intellectually must ask for a reciprocation. Thus freedom is the key for developing a healthy and fruitful relationship of minds across the world.  . 

But there are many pitfalls of social media, the first and foremost is the spam messages which spoil the mood of the person opening his/her mail box. Internet marketers and those looking for just an income from the social media also add clumsiness to the online experiences. There is one more breed of irritants - loving messages from West African countries, supposed to be coming from 23/24 year negro girls. These are mostly spams and aimed at cheating those involving with such messages. But you get some nice photographs of young innocent and beautiful black girls through such involvements. Such photographs are used by the scammers to attract the victims to respond favorably.
