Social media question air

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Happy to oblige but first could you clarify a couple of points.

8) Define "celebrity" - Not an exact science, I know, but some guidance would be a help.

9) Define "confront" - do you simply mean "meet with" or are you talking more literally? The word "confront" logically means that you are looking for a "confrontation".

Yes, it looks like an easy enough survey to answer (in particular, thanks for not asking us to rate 20 aspects of each service on a scale from 1 to 10!

) but I was wondering about those two questions too - e.g. does "celebrity" include tennis players outside the top 100 (i.e. celebrities to us - though that might be a mildly insulting word to use to describe them! - but, as that Pointless episode suggested, not to most of the population) and by confront, did you mean "talk to" or "argue with"?

Also, am I right to assume that by social network you mean Facebook/Twitter style programs that often involve interaction with lots of people at once rather than things like MSN or Skype that primarily involve 1 to 1 conversations.

8) someone who is well known in the public eye, using tennis as a example, aka the murray's but not kyle edmund, oli golding, or liam broady as they are not really well known yet outside close followers of british tennis. for example my parents, who like tennis, wouldnt be able to tell you exactly they were but may kind of recognize their names

9) to resolve a problem you have with someone rather than just

i hope this helps

Not much point in my replying. I don't use any social media. My daughter made me join Facebook but I only use it to check on what is happening in her life!

2, 18-30

4, 309

6, Erm probably around 200-250 of the 309
7, Follow 534, followed by 232 people
8, probably around 15%, most of the people are poker players which I wouldn't class as celebrities
9, real life
10, When I think about it yes because pretty much all social events are organised on facebook now for my main social circles.

Salmon · Tennis legend

It doesn't bother me much, but shouldn't this be in the Chat section?

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

I would have thought so, but I don't seem to have the power to move it!

steven · Tennis legend

Yes, it should - I'll move it.

Entirely my fault, I meant chat rather than general tennis when I suggested to huntley93 that he could set up a new thread but unthinkingly said "general" - i.e. about as confusing as possible!
