My article strongly emphasized on how Facebook consumes to much time from teenagers. I agree because majority of teenagers are users of Facebook. Like myself, I do spend a lot of time on Facebook and other social networks and it lacks my ability to get duties, errands and even school work done regularly. Why is Facebook so much time - consuming towards adolescents? There are also other problems such as security and privacy issues that need to be regulated. However, Facebook is in the process of protecting it's users from pedophile and spam messages. Facebook is the new uprising social networking system. Myspace and Facebook have some similarities and differences among them. The two websites are implied to one another all the time. You sometimes hear, "Myspace V.S. Facebook." Both social networking sites are desired to help users communicate through the Internet. However, Facebook has different features and more exciting applications than Myspace. For example, Facebook most exciting feature is the famous, "Wall." The Wall is impressive because you post comments so, everyone can see and even draw on it. Myspace and the other hand has comments posted similar to the Wall on Facebook, but no creative design. Also, Facebook has it's own language, passageways and handshakes. You can "poke" a friend something like a wink or wave. You can also assign specialized subgroups who share same hobbies, virtual zombies, and other impressive applications. Facebook also allows you to send people drinks, flowers and other amazing stuff. Myspace doesn't have all these features, but you can have a layout for your page which Facebook does not have. Since, the version of Web 2.0. everything is set up for you all you have to do is upload. Invasion of privacy is an issue by many users because their information is out in the open to practically everyone. As a male perspective I have nothing to hide because I don't expect any stalkers. I'm not scared or terrified of others knowing my information because I don't believe anyone would try to harm me in any way possible. On the contrast, females perspectives are completely different. They inform privacy issues to Facebook because of pedophiles and other reasons of being harm. Females are more aware and conscious that they are being watched or monitored. Finally, I always thought these social networking sites as Myspace, Friendster, and Facebook had no issues and meant to make all people satisfied. Nevertheless, Facebook has some bad encounters and propose many problems to others.

Facebook is time consuming, it is a great way to keep in contact with family and friends. It has great applications that allow you to have food fights or even to send flowers to a friend. How cool is that? Besides sending flowers or having a food fight, a person can write on their friends wall to just say hello; a feature that reminds some people about the old time telephone system. On the whole, Facebook is pretty cool, it may be time consuming but it is rather exciting.
facebook seems to be a hot topic everywhere i turn, and to me its amazing how many people have given themselves over to it. on a positive note it does provide a social networking platform, and i think it differs from myspace in that the network on facebook is a lot more professional and older. but of course its hard for me to comment on it without just being negative because i despise it. sorry
