Relationships in the Age of Social Media


Former Los Angeles Times Blogger Tony Pierce will be hosting this event, and it's free to all whom register. Tony is pictured below with Brady Westwater the Los Angeles historian.

Description:
As if relationships weren’t complicated enough: Social media’s now taken PDA from public pucker-ups to textual (and pictorial) “Proclamations d’Amour”, putting people on different sides of the “Relationship Status” debate. And whether we’re in, in between, seeking, or otherwise disposed to relationships, the online world has influenced – and will continue to affect – the way we engage with one another across social spaces.

So what are the rules of romantic (dis)engagement in the blog/vlog/Facebook/Twitter era? Has much changed since the analogue days? And are there some practices or traditions that persist despite, or even because of, all of technology’s vaunted advances and social effects?

On Tuesday, January 10, join KPCC’s Blog Editor (and “busblog.com” creator/writer) Tony Pierce and guest panelist Alie Ward (“Drinks with Alie & Georgia”) at The Crawford Family Forum for a moderated, potentially immoderate, and sure-to stimulate conversation about the “new” relationship rules, in 2012 and beyond.
