I really like the idea of kindness and the universal good. It's nice to think that there is still some good out there especially during this economic crisis. Well i guess it is time for me start Twitchhiking all the way to Spain. Thanks for the great idea.mcguickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696665778485976781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283232165600692653.post-27865108611119084042009-03-31T15:18:00.000-07:002009-03-31T15:18:00.000-07:00I feel as though if people are promted to pay for ...I feel as though if people are promted to pay for these social networking sites, they would no longer be as popular as they are today. <BR/>I'm not saying that no one would pay for them (although I know that I wouldn't), they just would not get the traffic that they recieve today. <BR/>I think that if these sites were to ask for money then new FREE social networking sites would pop up over night. <BR/>Social networking should never be monetized!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283232165600692653.post-91448712072034616642009-03-21T11:41:00.000-07:002009-03-21T11:41:00.000-07:00I completely agree.I completely agree.Ty Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295314189465660784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283232165600692653.post-81042794676790638672009-03-20T11:49:00.000-07:002009-03-20T11:49:00.000-07:00I think with Facebook changing its layout of the n...I think with Facebook changing its layout of the news-feed, twitter will still be just as popular. I don't think these changes with affect either one in the long run. I personally use both twitter and Facebook, though I am fairly new to twitter and I guess you can say a veteran on Facebook. I use both of them for different things, Facebook to interact with friends and twitter to interact more with the public, and everyone. On Facebook I provide more personal information, pictures, and talk only to friends through wall posts and private messages; where as on twitter I provide little personal information in my profile, and use it to keep up with what others are doing, celebrities, news issues, and popular culture. I feel twitter is a site to connect the public sphere more through networking, where as Facebook is a social network between friends. I am a lot more cautious of what I write on Twitter, since it is such an open forum of information that anyone can access.StephLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822200976550850911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283232165600692653.post-1783854778773149782009-02-27T11:14:00.000-08:002009-02-27T11:14:00.000-08:00I agree with Kstar.

Though people grieve deaths in their own ways, and therefore are welcome to do so in anyone, but I believe that it should be the choice of the family as to whether they wish to keep the account active or to have it deleted. I agree, and that if the family of friends so choose they can create a memory group for that person to share their memories, stories and photos. As we discussed in class, facebook and similar internet sites allow people to create an online profile. This is where some people become obsessed with updating their online profile, such as their interests and photos to share with friends. It is like an artificial world. <BR/>On a lighter note, even with simple things as relationships, when two people break up - it is hard enough to see that person's facebook profile and updates on the news feed. I know you can still delete the contact from your friends, but if you have mutual friends - you can still see their pictures and other information. All in all, facebook should bend the rules in these cases, there can always be exceptions to rules.StephLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822200976550850911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283232165600692653.post-17969911731207081632009-02-24T17:15:00.000-08:002009-02-24T17:15:00.000-08:00I think that remembering a friend or relative who ...I think that remembering a friend or relative who has passed away is a great idea, but I don’t think that keeping their Facebook profile alive is quite the way to do it. It is nice to have a place to write goodbyes and memories, and so on, but I think that would be better suited for a group created specifically to remember the person who has died. I’m part of a group that remembers an old high school classmate who passed away during my first year and I think that is the best way to remember someone we have lost. This way friends and family can grieve together without having to look at his profile and all the things he did while he was still alive. There should be some way to remember those we have lost without having to be constantly seeing that someone has written on their wall. That would be too upsetting for some of his or her friends. Being a part of a group enables us to check back once and awhile to see what others have posted and perhaps post something of our own. It is not a constant presence, which may be too difficult for some people to handle. Sites such as these are growing so much and are such a huge part of our lives that I think it is going to take time for all these various issues to get sorted out. Facebook is trying, but I think they still have a ways to go.Books Etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10920924552574859601noreply@blogger.com
