An article on CBC News about the behavioral differences between how men and women use Facebook quotes Michael Stefanone, assistant professor of communication, who said interactions on Facebook aren't that different than those in real life. "When I look at Facebook, what I'm looking at is as a platform to compete for attention and people are competing for attention in ways that they've been doing for many years, before Facebook came along," he said.
