The main social network sites (SNS) I used are Facebook and YouTube.
I am sure all of you are very familiar with Facebook. Facebook is so popular to the extent that you will be isolated among your friends or you are not a human being at all if you don’t have a Facebook account. More and more people are getting on Facebook, even parents and grandparents.
One thing I like about Facebook is that I can connect with my friends so easily. As I said in class, it is even more convenient than calling your friends as they will ALWAYS be in Facebook even though they don’t answer any phone calls. As Facebook allows us to create events, my friends would create events on Facebook whenever they want to have gatherings and it can show who is available and who is not. Here is my Friend Wheel!
Facebook is a great tool somehow if you use it wisely. Some people would afraid that they don’t have any privacy when they have Facebook account. One thing I heard from my mom is that the employers would go on to Facebook to check on their potential candidates, to see what kind of person they are by looking at their photos, comments and so on, to define whether that candidate is worth hiring. As I said in Week 3, I think there is a choice that people have to make. You always have a choice whether to give up your privacy in order to enjoy cool things or not. To be a wise Facebook user, I think we should think about the issue of privacy.
YouTube is a useful SNS too. I have an account with YouTube where I can subscribe videos, so whenever there is newly release videos, I would receive a notification through my Gmail.
I seldom write comments on the video, but I found that the audiences are quite brutal on the comments. However, sometimes the comments can be like a little blog where people can share their opinions after watching the video.
It can also remind me of my childhood memories.
And I appreciate the people who have the patience to make such great videos. Here are 2 examples!
Please Enjoy!
For the privacy in Facebook, I think the privacy setting is very useful for us to choose what kinds of information that we want to share!What interesting features can you identify in your friend wheel？
