Your online social life Reviews

I've been online since 2000, but it's only been maybe over 3 years, i didn't any socialising online, apart from the odd game of Yahoo! Pool. In 2006, i started having close links with some people online that involved a different online game, but this was a small community. Despite not being a great fan of internet socialising and chat, i got into ...  Read the complete review

I have to say I'm fully in support of developing an online social network. It is a subject often demonised, and certainly I can see the arguement that children should not be sat indoors staring at a computer all evening, rather than actually seeing their friends, but what about at 10 o'clock at night, when the kids are in bed, and the adults want ...  Read the complete review

As some of you may know from my details about myself and some of my other reviews that i suffer badly from agoraphobia and depression. With my agoraphobia, i have quite bad social anxiety so i find it really hard meeting new people, especially those in public where i am terrified of making a fool of myself. My doctor asked me if i spent ...  Read the complete review

Why i love being online. I spend a daft amount of time being online now. When its not playing games on sites, im always on msn messenger, facebook or dooyoo'ing, which is also my new addiction here. I enjoy being able to get away from people who you see regularily and just want some peace and time to yourself. People shadow the ...  Read the complete review

I am always on the internet, and when i'm on the internet, i'm always on social networking websites. You name them, i've got an account for it, even if i don't even use that account sometimes! Facebook and twitter are my current favourites but i've got a bebo account, a myspace account, a friendster account too. Social networking ...  Read the complete review

The internet takes over my life when I'm not outside. I am forever on Facebook/MySpace, shopping online, some forum or writing reviews here. Without it I don't know what I'd do. I find that social networking sites are such a great way to keep in contact with friends and even find new ones. With them I wouldn't be able to organize things ...  Read the complete review

The internet has grown and been used more widely for communication and I like many others worldwide love using the internet to stay in touch with my friends and family. The three main websites that I use online to stay in touch with my friends and family are bebo, facebook and msn, bebo and facebook are both message board style websites ...  Read the complete review

I think its fair to say that in these days, with computers and internet connections in almost every home, a lot more people are using the internet, not just as a research tool, but as a social tool - getting in touch with old friends via sites like friends reunited, or updating us every few hours on sites such as twitter . I'm going to ...  Read the complete review

Over the years I think I have become more wary of who and how I communicate online. The media, stories from friends and general maturity has made me extremely cautious and probably less trusting. When I was younger I regularly would chat to people I did not know, albeit I never met with anyone I chatted to or knew through the online world. It ...  Read the complete review

At the moment I am forever on the internet, shopping, facebook and writing reviews. Obviously facebook is a great way to stay in touch with friends, especially if they don't live near you or are abroad. It is alsogood for your friends that do live close so you can arrange a night out etc. When I first started writing on dooyoo.com ...  Read the complete review

I myself use the internet quite a lot for my social life. I think it is such a great invention and an easy way to chat with your friends and family online, find your old friends and send messages to them and recieve them back. There can be your disadvantages for this though, and you often hear of things getting out of hand and people meeting up ...  Read the complete review

I remember my first experiences of having home internet when I was just entering my teens. It was the now rather outdated 'dial up' internet through AOL and although I was very happy with AOL, I was also very annoyed at the most random people who would send me and instant message, or IM, while I was browsing. Looking back at those kinds of people ...  Read the complete review

My online social life has gone through many different phases. When I first got the net, around 10 years ago, I was online non-stop, falling in love every month with a different person, and making friends I thought were more important to me than 'real people'. With maturity, and responsibility, came the need to prioritise, and my online social life ...  Read the complete review

I must admit, I do spend a lot of my time on the internet, mostly looking at random things that I don't really need to look at, but also on social networking sites such as myspace, face book and bebo. However I only really use myspace at the moment as its what all of my friends have, and it's the only one which people actually comment me on ...  Read the complete review

I remember when being an active internet user was used as a joke by many people let alone using the internet in a social way to meet new people and share information but those days have now long gone! Instead the internet has become the newest most happening way of communicating for both individuals and businesses alike. I use the ...  Read the complete review

With the likes of myspace and facebook, there is a new way that you can socialise with people, and that is online. I am a member of a lot of social newtorking sites, and even when I am at home and on my own, I still feel like I am socialising with my friends, even when some of them are a thousand miles away. When I first started using ...  Read the complete review

I spend a lot of time on the internet, and a lot of the sits I use have a social element to them. When I was younger, in my mid teens, I used to spend a lot of time in chat rooms. In the past teenagers may have had a pen pal, however I found the process too slow, and the instant gratification of talking to someone immediately appealed to me. Like ...  Read the complete review

When my auntie turned around one day and told us she had met a guy and he was going to move in with her we were all excited and happy for her. No one knew she was seeing someone but we thought she had kept it quiet because of her previous experiences with men. After a while she spoke about how she had met him on the internet and they had been ...  Read the complete review

I am not a fan of social networking site but yeah, I have the accounts for some of them. I didn't make friends from those site but I keep my friends connected to me that way. I believe that it is not so easy to maintain the internet friendship because the internet is really dynamic. I am active in forums, local and international, paid ...  Read the complete review

I think you can be an internet addict without having an 'online social life' to speak of, just as it is possible to be lonely in the midst of a crowd of people. Don't get me wrong - I'm not sitting here sobbing as I type - but I don't see using the internet as primarily a form of socialising, personally. For me, on a personal level, the internet ...  Read the complete review
