'We Know Your House' Shows How Many People Reveal Their Home Address On Twitter
It's fair to say people have used social media to the point of realising exactly what they should or shouldn't share for the sake of their online safety. But that doesn't seem to have stopped people revealing their home addresses, as the social experiment weknowyourhouse.com demonstrates.
Study shows people are more likely to lie while text messaging
The University of British Columbia conducted a study recently, suggesting people are more likely to lie in text messages than they are in all other forms of communication.
This was done with a pretty ingenious role-playing game of 'stock market.' 170 students were analysed via face-to-face, audio, video and text message communications as they play the rolls of brokers selling stock or consumers out to buy the aforementioned stock. Just before the brokers were to make their sales pitch to consumers, they were informed that the stock had lost half its value, which set the stage for the buyers to report back to researchers, determining how often they'd been lied to.
