I prefer real life models. People I can stare in the eyes. Eyes never lie. You can never be sure that people will tell the truth on the internet, basically because they are never confronted face to face with the people they tell their stories. I would never be as gullible on the internet as in day to day life.

I do like the internet of course. You can find loads of information from reliable sources, if you take the time to look for them. And it's a great way of staying in touch with people you do not see regularly. I spent a year abroad and it's way to expensive to call everybody every now and then, but emails, yeah...
