Does internet change the way you percieve people?
Now a days, almost everyone has an internet profile of some kind, mainly a myspace or facebook, or both. Do you think people make judgements of strangers based on thier internet profile? Do you judge someone by thier facebook profile, myspace, or even livejournal? Do you think people's facebook and other internet profiles are an accurate judgement of them? Please state if you agree or disagree with this, and why?

Yes, I definately make judgements based on people's internet profiles. One thing I hate to see when looking at a profile is someone that tYpEz LyKe dIz. I automaticly think they are stupid and about 12-15 years old.
Before I came to college, I got my assigned roomates, and I immediately looked them up on facebook. One of them didn't have it, and the other did. The first thing I noticed when looking at the one that did was that she liked country music, so I was like, OHMYGOD .. SHE'S GONNA BE A COWBOY, WE'LL NEVER GET ALONG. . but in reality, she was really cool.
I totally make judgments like this based on people's online profiles.
For example, if I am looking at someone's favorite music artists and they list Weird Al Yankovic, I automatically assume that this person knows nothing about music.
yes, people do turn to facebook to make judgements on people, i know if i met someone, i would go on their facebook, and check it out and sometimes i would be like this person is cool and friend them, and other times be like this persons kinda wierd i'm going to avoid them.
People absolutley judge people on their facebook or myspace. Thats the purpous of thoes internet profiles pretty much; to tell people about yourself and to be in contact with others. Ide say that most of the stuff for ordinary people does a fairly good job of explaining who that person really is or what they enjor or like. But also there are times where a internet profile could have alot of stuff thats made up because the people that make them choose to write or show what ever they want and it may not be an accurate description of them.

Ok so I definitely think people are judged by their myspace and Facebooks. First of all, you're obvioulsy going to judge someone based on their pictures and stuff, and in a myspace, it has interests and an about me section so If its ridiculous and outlandish you might say "wow this kids a big fat liar" and if its the same as you, maybe "wow me and this kid have a lot in common."
I think people do make judgements based on myspace or facebook. You can't really know a person untill you meet them in person, but a lot of people get information about other people off those kind of sites. I think people put up what they WANT other people to think of them because people are usually the most open online, and don't tend to hold as much back.
The online profiles are there so we can become familiar with people. Therefore, I do judge people by what they have online because they are given the chance to decribe themselves to othere who view their profiles. When I see certain pictures that people post it makes me think some more about who that person really is. You can really find out some interesting things about people from their online profiles.. VERY INTRESTING. And about the TypEz lyKe dIs comment... that is a way to express yourself. We as human beings strive to be unique and different. Therefore, the way someone types does not make them stupid Erica! LOL
