Changing Times

So i was on facebook the other day and i started thinging how as time goes on people find a new social network to join. Like for example i started with a bebo then came to te conclusion that was useless so I moved to myspace well really because all my friends used it so I wanted to be apart of it. Which is really how some of these sites become so big. Same occurace with facebook. Although I did have a facebook while still using myspace it was only when the trend shifted to using facebook that so did I. One recurring theme i see with all social networks that make the big time are that when one dies the next one thrives and aquires those members and more. Sure essentially they are all the same thing just a way of communicating with friends and family but there always seems to be something new and exciting after a while.

This also got me thinging to what is gonna be the next one that people use when everyone no longer used facebook.. Twitter tried but twitter also failed. However I do look forward to see where people of today find a new way to communicate with eachother over the internet.

Extreme Facebook Groups

You’re not a true Facebook user if you’re not a fan of a group but some take it too literally. News feeds full of friends joining pointless group like ‘I hate it when a zebra takes my waffles!’.

Funny part is it gets worse. There’s been this massive craze about turban groups. How it started and how people are amused by it is absolutely beyond me and once people join one turban group, they join every other turban group. There are over 17000 of these groups!!! If you haven’t already seen any of these groups some examples are Roses are red, my turban is blue, become a fan, or i will bomb you (which is listed as a RELIGIOUS ORGANISATION), and I Once Gabbered So Hard My Turban Fell Off

Somewhere in all of this, you have to think of all the people out there who do wear a turban. I highly doubt that it’s the people that wear turbans which created these groups or are fans of them. If other cultures were to be made fun of like this one, I’m sure things would have been taken out of control. I think it’s about time Facebook Administration stepped in and did something about it…

Everyone has facebook!

It's funny how friends used to keep in contact in the old days. Writing letters and calling on the phone are such things of the past nowadays.
As techonlogy is advancing, so are the ways in which people are staying connected with eachother. Through the use of social networking sites, people can talk to someone halfway around the world just by the click of a button!
Social networking sites used to just cater to the younger generaton who were able to use technology more effectively, but these days it is so much more simpler to use and understand.
From Bebo, to Myspace, to now facebook and twitter, the more social networking sites being introduced, the more people are starting to join.
These days, it is simply a matter of typing in a family friend, a work mate, or an old school friends name and BANG, there u have it, your back in contact with someone u may not have spoken to for 10 years!
Not only that, but people from any age, race or country can become a part of these sites. I mean, from an 80 year old woman to a 12 year old child are all able to keep in contact with people that they know.
No matter where u are, im sure that someone within a 20m proximity of yourself is using facebook. Whether it be on a desktop, a laptop or even a mobile, without fail someone will be on it.
Take for example a typical day that i spend at uni. On the bus, i see people using facebook on their mobiles, in lecture rooms i look down and see at least 10 people there on facebook making use of the free internet. Whilst talking with a friend they ask me if they could borrow my phone to cheak their facebook.
Well, i guess with over 400 million people who are joined to facebook, i guess this isn't a surprise.

HAVE ANY OF YOU GOT SPAM ON FACEBOOK

Spam on facebook has been appear long time ago.
There is no question that facebook is one of the large social network.
This led to people to do advertisting and promoting on facebook.
Facebook is a great market for businesses beacuse is one of the fastest growing social network.
To those businesses owner they may think they are doing business but to the user
of facebook is a spam. i am sure many of you have receieve clubing event invitation
and other groups that they want you to join. well i dont know about if you get those or not,
but i get like 2 or more everyday.
Other spam that on facebook are the spam message that link to certain bussiness or product
that they want to sale. So when you click their post it will led to the website of the product and asking you to buy them.
Another way spam can happen in facebook is some random person added you and start to post comment on your facebook unstop. Your whole profile is full of the person's comments which you don't even know the person.


Below are some picture of facebook spam:
