Following his study, he argues that a focus on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram does little to explain what we post on social media. Instead, the key to understanding how people in an English village use social media is to appreciate just how 'English' their usage has become. He introduces the 'Goldilocks Strategy': how villagers use social media to calibrate precise levels of interaction ensuring that each relationship is neither too cold nor too hot, but 'just right'.Why we post.Sociology and anthropologybicsscSociety and social sciences Society and social sciencesbicsscSocial and cultural anthropology, ethnography Mod Social and cultural anthropology, ethnographybicsscAnthropologybicsscSocial sciencesEthnologyElectronic books.Sociology and anthropology.Society and social sciences Society and social sciences.Social and cultural anthropology, ethnography Mod Social and cultural anthropology, ethnography.Anthropology.Social sciencesEthnology.302.231Miller Danielaut118348MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910251557403321Social Media in an English Village2290515UNINA
