This blog is about articles we read in class. The first article I will touch base on is "Myspace v. Facebook: competing addictions.This article tells us how addicted to these sites we really are. I for one can say I am addicted. I log on to my myspace and update it daily. As a matter a fact when I am done withthis blog I plan to go to the cyber cafe and log on to my myspace.
This article talks about how Facebook is coming up in an already Mysapce dominated world. Myspace growth is slowing down while Facebook continues to grow. According to hitwise the article discusses that Myspace domain is one of the most visited domain among U.S Internet users, accounting for 4.92% of all Internet visits. Meanwhile Facebook has been coming up slowly. The article also discusses how are income level also affects most people use. lower income families then to use myspace as people with households that earn more then 60,000 per year tend to be Facebook users.
The second article that I would like to summarize is the one on "Facebook and Divorce: airing the Dirty Laundry" This article explains how pictures and comments made on this site are now being used a evidence in court for divorce. There is a wall on two Facebook groups- I hate my ex-husband and I hate my ex-wife, which together had been joined by 236 Facebook users as of early June. People are using this site to bash their ex. Is that really good? do we always have to have some sort of drama? Divorce is ugly all the way around. Do we really need to make it uglier by making our dirty laundry public? And What of the children involved with these divorces do they really need to be subjected to this immature behavior? And is it right for courts to use these publications in their trials? Well the answer for me is right there. PUBLIC if you do not want people to see this and judge you by what you put out there then keep it personal. These website have created a whole new drama for all of us in life. We already have enough to worry about but now we have to worry bout these sites. On the other hand we are doing it to ourselves. So maybe that is the prices we be for being involved in a cypher world.
