blog #17 summerize articles about facebook

I write after reading the articles on Facebook. These articles actually intrigued me very much. If there is ever a blog in which I can easily write four hundred words this one.
The article that got my attention the most was "Facebook sparks suspicion" I love this article because of the truth it has to it. Its EXACTLY like My Space and yes it does spark suspicion. Of course it starts trouble! Anybody that is in a committed relationship and is actually being real and has good intentions for it would agree. You only put out there what you want people to see and you only want people to see what you are proud of. So yes it will spark suspicion. The thing is you can manage your page.. So if somebody writes on your wall and you chose not to take it down then you proud of it. With that your partner has every right to suspect. You also have the ability to block users. So if there is something being said that you don't like, block the user. So I think that spark of suspicion has merit.
The other article "Colleges scanning Facebook During Admissions" goes back to my first paragraph you put out there what you are proud of. Do I think it is a step to far?," YES!!" A persons personal life should not have say to how far they can go academically. At the same time these pages are made public because you chose to make them so. This might make it just for a college to factor in the kind of person they are allowing to sport their school name proudly. So if they chose to go on you facebook there should be nothing there that you are not proud of. If there is things you are ashamed of and they get seen that is to your discretion. The article also states that the colleges might just be using this as a excuse to turn away people they might be judging. I agree with this.
Another article "Jury Out on Facebook's Impact on Grades" . This article is about studies done on students in which students with a facebook page have lower grades. But after more studies the low grades were do to poor study habits.
