I read and took in your blog with...Hi Dawnie-Lee,<br /><br /> I read and took in your blog with a keen interest. I was especially interested in the ‘façade’ element of your blog, and in the context of your social network. <br /><br />Tuan (1977) noted that “people tend to supress that which they cannot express” and Turkle (1995) alluded to “accordance to social norms (being) enforcers of power within modern society”. As the commodity of Pinterest is largely, in my opinion, contingent upon the ability to express your interests freely I ask if in both first hand and voyeuristic experience you find both sentiments to be a reality within your network. Allen (2003) found that “power is a relational effect of social interaction”. For yourself as a first time user who would irrefutably struggle to obtain a “presence” within the community, was this a reality despite having limited or no social interaction – in the form of comments and repins from boards you created – as a new user? I look forward to hearing from you in the future. <br /><br /><br />Regards, <br /><br />Gabriel<br /><br /><br />Reference List: <br /><br />Tuan, Y. (1977).
