Interview with Mas Uriu, 20 years old, Japanese major, Japanese American, 2nd year
*remember to change the name if you want to use this interview!

1.How do you feel that Facebook has affected your relationships either negatively, positively, or both?
No effect. The whole "we're in a relationship" on Facebook didn't do much. And if we were in a relationship, we talked outside of Facebook, so it really didn't matter to me. But, at the same time, it can add to your relationship, where you can flaunt your relationship and you can document your memories together.

2.Do you feel your behavior has changed through the use of Facebook either in real life, or online? Why?
Yes, Facebook is not a means for everything. I feel like Facebook kind of controls people's lives. Friend request, events, etc. No one calls anyone for parties, its basically: check your Facebook events. It is easier to coordinate things now.

3.When your relationship becomes “official”, do you advertise that fact on facebook? Why, or why not? I put I am in a relationship, even though it's not really necessary. Depending on what kind of relationship it is also--like if its secret or something. I wouldn't personally care if my relationship wasn't official on Facebook because it's not about that.

4.Do you feel that Facebook affects other relationships positively, negatively, or both? Why? Some good, some bad. You can't hide things as well. But if you're in long distance, it's a way of communicating. So, its quite beneficial.

5. Did you have a relationship you got a Facebook? How was it different? We used Myspace, so basically it was the same. We wouldn't have started talking together again, and reunited, and then gotten in a relationship.
