Facebook, MySpace.. The mania
Alright so all this hype in Facebook is kinda ridiculous. Being a member in MySpace is no longer cool since everyone is joining this Facebook thing. I admit I’m a late bloomer. I just signed up to Facebook in December 2006 while my buddies already have like 100 wall posts. It also took me a while to sign up for MySpace. I dont see what the hype is about MySpace expect to show off your ugly html skills on your MySpace page. Then Facebook comes along and it’s even more creepy than MS. People can see what youre writing, who youre ‘friends’ with etc. Yes I know you can turn that off. But really who has the time to change the Privacy Settings. I also had a hard time looking for it. :embarass: Ah well. It’s not like I have anything to hide. I log into FB once a day (scary I know) and as soon as I see that I have no Friend requests, no new wall posts and no new messages in my Inbox, I leave. That sounds like I have no friends in FB but really I just dont bother with writing on people’s wall if I have nothing to say. I can just call them right? It’ll die down just like MS in a few years.. And all these new stories about students getting suspended because they posted photos and comments about their teachers is just ridiculous. Who asked teachers to go to FB and look for insults on their photos anyway? If you dont like it, dont go to it. Freedom of speech is no longer relevant to the education system. It’s like theyre going to monitor FB for any cruelty towards their teachers. What’s even better is if these students get smart and start posting videos of their teachers in Youtube. That would be funnier. Who’s going to know if you posted it when you can come up with any nickname you want. Right?? :wink:
