Who are your ideal referrals on here?

February 26, 2008 3:11pm CST
I have just recently got myself a good few referrals and got me thinking to who your favourite referrals would be on here. Obviously the ones that are very active but what I mean is do you like having referrals that you know personally or do you feel like it make you censor what you say on here. It may also make you feel as though you couldn't spend as much time here as you normally would if some of your real friends could see how much time you like to spend on the net. I got myself some anonymous referrals from one of those swap referral sites and it has worked out quite nicely for me. My sister has often asked what sites I go online and I have always been very bague about it just basically cos I dont want her here.

Well, to be honest, the opportunity presented by this site is incredible. I've been here less than a week with 8 refferals of which half are pretty active. Not knowing many people on here, has forced me to censor a few things I might've posted as discussions. I might invite some personal friends I have just to be able to discuss these things amongst people I know won't laugh or belittle my thoughts. I feel your pain KC.

Oh so you are the opposite. You feel that you can't discuss certain things here cos you dont know people here personally? Now that is interesting. I think that cos I don't know anyone here I have much more freedom to say what I like with no hesitation.

ya, some topics like politics and religion are definitely ones I'll try to steer clear of. Seems to me people like to use the internet as a basis for stereotypes. "People in America are stupid", etc. Rather I like to think we've met in person by meeting online. After all the internet is just a mode of communicating with others. =)

I think I'll never find the ideal referrer. IMHO a referrer must be, first of all, a friend and he must be very active. But I'm here only from today, I can't say how should be a referrer :)
