So before you start using this idea, I better explain just what it is, because that just might be awkward to start a trend and have it be different for all the users and appliers of that trend... Kind of like a hipster (shudder).
The Stranger Buffer is the proverbial distance between people that allows them to reveal some things about themselves that seem personal. For instance if I knew that nobody I knew read this, then I could explain and express all sorts of feelings, but since I know some of the readers (most of the readers) I do not want any weird conversations to arise from what I post. The same thing can happen when you run into somebody on the street and end up telling them something you would not tell an "acquaintance" (referring to a friend you would talk to, but not much past small talk). So as a stranger becomes somebody that you would add to Facebook, what they are doing is wearing down that buffer. Or you are letting them in so to speak and it are the people that have just entered into the friend stage that you want to pick up gossip about you the least. Not that you would not want to tell them anything face to face but you would not want people sharing secrets about you with them, more than a stranger or an equally close friend. However as they move from acquaintance to close friend they start to build a relationship that allows for personal depth and sharing.
Any who... I don't have all night... or a whole book to type, so I think I'm going to leave it there. This is going to be huge... possibly... (after all I really thought that two parts one post thing would put me on the blogging map, but it didn't) However this time I'm going to share the link on Facebook... maybe... we'll see
PS. If you just came to this post through Facebook, you are what
I would call a success... that, or your mouse abilities are lacking
PPS. This is to make up for some missed Post Scripts, but also to
let you know mouse skills refers to your ability to point and click
