While traditional online dating sites offer the internet equivalent of a
speed dating
session, social networking sites are the cocktail parties of the web: people, in the course of their meticulous self - representation online,
share what they love to do, not who they want to fall in love with; they aren't under pressure to fall head overheels; and they can bring friends along for the ride.These sites also put users in a position to meet a significant other without having to admit they need dating help.
Here ECO offers two smart observations: (i) if the workshop is held only in Durban (rather than, as ECO would suggest, at the tentative Fall / Spring
session) Parties will not be able to adopt a COP decision on the much - needed long - term goal just a few days later (as if at these talks anything was ever dealt with at the urgency and
speed it deserved); and (ii) the experience of Copenhagen shows that it doesn't take a workshop to know that negotiating a long - term goal without understanding who contributes what and what's the fair
share of their responsibility, will be very difficult.
