How does your relationship with the person you are communicating with (or the lack of such a relationship) impact your social mediated communication style? How does the anonymity of social mediated communication impact communication styles?

How has social mediated communication impacted society as a whole? More specifically, how has social media impacted society?

How do past social mediated interactions influence your future decisions concerning mediated communication?

What factors do you consider when posting something on social media?

What aspects of netiquette do you practice the most when communicating online?
