Social Networks

Q:What do you like/don't like about your experience with using these tools?

In my own personal opinion I think that social network sites, such as Facebook and Bebo, can be very useful in a lot of different ways. I find sites like Facebook, which I am a member of, to be very useful in normal everyday life. It is a way of keeping in contact with friends and family, whether they life far way or next door. I'm able to stay in touch with my school friends, which now since I'm in college I don't get to see as much, but with facebook I can have instant messaging conversations with them or simply receive or sent comments. Also on these social networking sites you can post pictures of events or even just nights, an example of a networking sight which is dedicated to the posting of pictures is known as Flicker.
On the other hand there is also a negative side to social networking sites. This negative side includes issues such as invasion of privacy, bulling and also not knowing who can see or use the information or pictures which you post~user rights. I think with any Internet sight you have to be careful with what you post or upload to your profile and always adjust the privacy settings to suit you.
