Networked

5. Partial membership in multiple networks
• Rely less on memberships in stable groups
• Must manage loose and diverse social networks.
• Deal with frequent turnover in relations
• “MyFace” may overload with too much information
• Calculate where to get different kinds of help
• Need to access different parts of their networks
• And calculate what kind of help to offer others
• Reciprocity based more on “what have you down for
me recently” than on communal norms of support
