Description
Summary:This paper presents a new situation in terms of human relations. Nowadays, new technology changes our way of communicating and relating. UAICCrush is a Facebook page that exemplifies this kind of situation. Our research analyzed the exchange of messages through this page. As a result, we developed a typology of the Internet users who send messages in order to be published on the page (the dreamer, the undecided, the sarcastic, the charming, the detached, and the pragmatic). Also, we established a quantitative description of the page activity during the analyzed period. This (micro)research opens future directions for scientists interested in the effects of virtual interactions between people.
