Just a note..

The definition of a third place does not implicitly say this, but a third place does seem to be a place where people can feel safe and secure. So, since the internet/blogging allows people to be whoever they wish to be--a 50 year old man pretending to be a teenage girl for example--does the internet really offer a safe haven?? And because you really don't know who you are talking to, can you trust anything that is said? Can you really develop your social capital with people whom you aren't positively sure who they are??
