I know a lot of my friends are atheists; I am glad you were able to understand this as being not just 'religious' - that was the spirit in which I shared it. The world needs more compassion. We all do. I agree D’Arcy, this doesn’t have to be about religion, though that may end up being the lens through which many people view it.

With difficulty! I live in a rural area...no cell phone service so iPhone is not an option. No high speed Internet at my house although it is available within 20 km in either direction. I work from home, so my connections are both professional and personal. Email and Yahoo Messenger are my main sources of contact. I use Elluminate Live! a lot both as a moderator and participating in online professional development. I love Skype, including video with family. I connect with other people who share my interest in photography via Flickr and websites such as Digital Photography School. Receiving the NY Times in my inbox every day keeps me in touch with what is going on in the world, and I share bits and pieces with others I think might be interested. A couple of months ago I created a Facebook account, but I really don't know what to do with it. I have never used Twitter or many of the other fashionable tools (I used to be on the leading edge of technology and now feel hopelessly left behind). Best of luck with your project.

Hmmm.... A few ideas spring to mind but... er... don't think I could post them. Thanks for injecting a bit of humour into the realm of photography. Often it's a bit too sober and could benefit from a loud hysterical howl now and again. My assignment: “white astonishing meat”. Hmmm….

The multiple presences are an important but often unmentioned aspect. When I'm interacting with people online, I'm often in at least a dozen places simultaneously - twitter threads spread around the world, flickr photos and discussions, IM sessions, etc… and being able to context shift between them is both important, and colours my interaction with each - albeit invisibly, as most often, each context is unaware of the others.

In other words, you're always occupying at least two locations psychologically and emotionally. This isn't the case with traditional f2F communications. Here's another hit on it. Someone is with you f2f and gets a phone call. You're aware of it, and that they're attention is elsewhere. You can sense and see the depth of their attention. Not so, online particularly with text. We don't have a direct experience, so we guess, assume or project. There's a lot more ambiguity in online verbal communication even in voice, although the sense of closeness and presence in voice feels much stronger. I think it's interesting, that when I'm in Second Life, although I can use voice, I don't about half the time. And I just finished a study in there, and one 3 of my participants could or wanted to use voice. There's something about the experience of Second Life, "as an avatar that text-chats" that makes it more surreal or fanciful. I'm not sure exactly what that's about. Just interesting I suppose :) There’s also the difference that when you’re online you’re always also physically somewhere.
