Jacqueline BurkellGUEST
Did a really interesting study quite some time ago now on how people make decisions about posting on social media.

Jacqueline BurkellGUEST
And what we found then, and I'd be interested to know whether it's still true now, is that we could identify basically three reasons for posting and three reasons for participating.

Jacqueline BurkellGUEST
One was to have really close family relations, so it's just, it's me and my little group of friends, and I am interested in just communicating with them.

Jacqueline BurkellGUEST
And then another group, we laughed, we used to call them the party people, and the party people were the ones who were interested in posting because they wanted to be seen as having a good time and wanting to be the people who were convening a good time.
