Facebook

Facebook has taken over the world. Facebook is a social networking tool that allows you to integrate every person that you are friends with as a part of your life. You can upload any type of media as well as, post information regarding your location and who is with you. I think Facebook is very limited. You can only see and communicate with the people that are friends with you. It’s a great tool to spread information among people who share similar interests or friends, but not so great if people don’t have you as a friend or subscribe to your updates. Facebook has become a very big part of the lives of the people who use it. There’s a lot of interpersonal situations that Facebook has developed many problems because of. For example, a lot of relationships (personal, romantic and professional) have been compromised because of the lack of privacy and the constant exploitation of information regarding how linked that person is to their Facebook page. Many if not most companies and organizations use Facebook as the direct way to interact with their demographic, customers. Some even use it as their main website or webpage. It is a great tool, to keep in touch with your contacts that aren’t in your demographic. For instance, if you have friends in a different country or different state, you could easily communicate with them for free. Rather than the “old fashioned” snail mail or post cards. You can simply leave a message on their wall and communicate with them. I’m not the biggest fan of Facebook, I use it often but in regards to using it for professional or media purposes, I think it isn’t as necessary as other platforms.
