Facebook really became huge when I was in college in 2007. I was currently on Myspace, which was the place to be. I was using the networks to connect with bands and fans because I was going to school for Music Business and I was booking bands. I got out of Myspace and just went on Facebook. But I cannot stand either site to be honest. I have some information of myself on Facebook, but not everything. My privacy is high on that site. I do post pictures from time to time, but I rarely update my status because I get sick of having to weed through everyone else's post on "hey just doin' laundry, what should I do next?". I think to myself, are you serious? You really need to me tell you what to do next? And do I even care that your doing laundry? (I do not mean to offend anyone, it's just I feel people put to much information on what they do through out their day. It's like don't you want people to call you to see what your up to, instead of them reading what your doing every 15 minutes?) My thought on the whole status thing is; if someone really wants to know what is going on with me, they can call me, and vise versa. I love the face to face communication better than Facebook communication.
I do like the site because I can talk to friends I haven't seen in a long time, along with family members who are over seas. I think Facebook has a good idea going, but I think its ruin communication skills with the younger audience. We need to focus more on communication face to face or on the phone instead of going on the internet to communicate or texting instead of calling. Moderation in both is key!
