Facebook changed the way we communicate. Did it also change our conversations?

Gone are the days where phone numbers are exchanged on the first meeting. You are now more likely to be asked: Can I friend you on Facebook?

And from there, a glance at your Facebook wall and your tagged photos become the first impression you will make.

Then a Facebook ‘like’ would follow, and a Facebook comment, and then Facebook messages. Facebook has inserted itself in-between our conversations. Augmenting them with statuses, links, and ‘likes’, while supplanting other traditional norms.

But what are the implications? What are the rules of a Facebook conversation?

Join us this month for a discussion on the topic of Conversations in the Age of Facebook. And together we’ll explore our collective experience with what is perhaps the most significant cultural shift of our time, as our identities become digital.
