Internet is a good way to meet people, isn´t it? Well this is one of many goals that this two huge companies have. They focus on creating people´s profile and exposing them on the internet, so in the article I read, I found it quite interesting that the author is trying to express with real numbers and concrete facts, that people are addicted to this social networking websites.
Believe it or not, Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg, a regular student from Harvard University. His main purpose was to develop a simple website that could make students be able to know each other and share information. Now everyone that has an email can create a profile and enter to this website in which you can chat with almost the entire world!
On the other hand we have that one of the biggest issues that this website has, is the privacy.
When you make your own profile you are exposing a lot of personal information that everyone can use for whatever they want, actually in some countries the people use this information to commit crimes such as kidnapping and stealing. So you need to be aware of this at the time you put your personal information there.
Another problem is that many of the users are children; they are the ones that spend all the day on the computer uploading photos, videos and making wall posts to their friends. In some schools this is a predicament because some kids are writing offensive comments to the people, or they upload some inappropriate photos that create a bad reputation to the schools, so, many of these schools are prohibiting the use of these websites on their computers labs.
Twitter is the third most used social network, Facebook is the first one followed by Myspace. I prefer Facebook but it doesn´t matter which one you use, the point here is that this millionaire companies are opening doors to a massive commercialization of people´s information. Some people don´t know this, but these websites sell the information to the companies for advertising, and that´s another good point here, these websites are a good way to advertise because millions of people are able to watch it, and can watch your product. This news article reveals the huge importance that social networking on the internet has in everyone´s lives. But, as it is commonly said, everything to its extreme is bad. We have to be more careful with the dependence we are creating to these sites.
