Still on the issue of facebook. Although I am not a facebook fan, I agree that facebook has its advantages and disadvantages. I am sort of introvert type of person. I do not like it that much to share my personal information with people except with those close friends. Even so, I strictly control the type of personal information that can be shared and with whom to share it with.
Facebook is a social networking platform where it means that we are open to every possibility of getting to know people and for people to get to know us. Ironically, as a social networking platform, facebook allows users to make private setting to limit the sphere of networking. Does it serve the purpose of a social networking? When we restrict our networking options to specific group of people, means that we are practicing limited social networking. If we limit our social networking, why do we use facebook for social networking at the first place? Or, as my friend had said earlier……...it is because I am not use to facebook so I wouldn't understand the 'spirit' of facebook.
As I mentioned earlier, I am not opposed to facebook but it my opinion availability of personal profile on the Internet for many people to see makes a person is vulnerable to unwanted possibilities. This is especially when people share the private information without giving a thought of exposing one-self too much or not anticipating the danger from predators lurking on the other side of the Internet world.

FB is a great way to connect with your college classmates. This is the biggest selling point to facebook because it really does allow you to reconnect with a lot of old friends and to make new friends. The newsfeed can be nice but it can also become really annoying. This is where you will end up blocking a lot of status updates and other things because they do become simply too annoying. The newsfeed is where a lot of information is shared and you may be thinking to yourself “who cares that your neighbor’s dog barks?” There are a lot of people that just want to talk and they use Facebook as that outlet.
