PLN Post #5: "Taking Sides"



While looking more into the concept of Social Networking, I have really come to a dead end when making a decision whether it's a good or a bad thing. Are all the risks of the internet really worth the value of the websites themselves? Should people really put their security at risk for posting pictures up on their wall. Like I said in my previous post, there are many pros and cons to Social Networking, so... the decision? The websites, MySpace, Glogster, FormSpring, and especially Facebook, have some really great qualities about them. What do they do for you? They allow you to be SOCIAL. That is the whole point of social networking sites, and that is what causes the hype for these websites. People want to be with their friends, even when they aren't with them. And that's the reason for the new fame of these websites. So what am I leaning towards? I think I want to see the social networking sites take off, and as long as you maintain your privacy, it could become a great thing!
