I don't see SU tags for "social media" and "social networking" but the study of online relationships is certainly a booming subject!

I'm often intrigued by the cultural differences within the same society, the same geographical community and the same ethnic group about things like swearing. It's probably a big part of many student-teacher conflicts too. For some people it is a natural part of speech, needed for proper emphasis, while for others it is shocking and offensive. I'd like to read more about the studies that have been done about when, where, why and how people swear. I think it might be helpful in understanding many blocks to effective communication.

I'm planning to participate in this Tweetblast tomorrow!

Fascinating idea, to re-tell the biblical story of Saul, David, Jonathan, and Michal in a contemporary setting. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.

It's great to hear from Melissa Etheridge about her fan Rick Warren, and why we shouldn't write off the people we disagree with as hopeless.
