OK I am going to comment on this from a cultural perspective, based on my own experience. I am from Mexico where, as in most Latin America, people touch each other all the time. It has nothing to do -at least on a conscious level- with sexuality. It is just a way social bonding I guess. I was honestly a bit shocking, after coming to Canada (where I've lived for the past six years) people hardly hug or touch each other at all. Even among close friends. I must say that during my first long harsh winter (while I wasn't seeing anyone) I could have done with a little more physical contact.

heffernan does not report, she babbles nonsense about stuff she's heard from her friends and family.

She obviously wants it to be true.

One person shut down her account because she disliked how nosy it made her. Another thought the scene had turned desperate. A third feared stalkers. A fourth believed his privacy was compromised. A fifth disappeared without a word.
The exodus is not evident from the site’s overall numbers.

Que is thinking of Alessandra Stanley, isn't he?
I don't know if this qualifies as bogus-trend "reporting" cause it was in Heffernan's column in the magazine, which is very much not "reported."
― nabisco, Monday, 31 August 2009 20:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes. Both have written about TV for the Times.

I think it must be the name. I first read her in Slate, so she didn't seem terribly old.

CORRECTION
A post on Monday afternoon incorrectly named Virginia Heffernan as having her own personal fact checker on the New York Times. It is Alessandra Stanley who was the fact-checker, not Heffernan.

It doesn't surprise me too much that people in Heffernan's age cohort have mixed feelings about Facebook. They're a group that definitely has a big Facebook presence (as opposed to the generation above them), but they've only really joined the site within the last year or two, and the notion of living online is not as second-nature to them as it is to their Gen Y counterparts. Of course, Heffernan's article never considers this.
― jaymc, Monday, 31 August 2009 20:37 (fifteen years ago) link
i would totally agree with that
