Social Networking sites have become very popular lately, and I can see why. It’s an easy, entertaining way to stay in touch with people and to dig up friends and acquaintances with whom we had lost touch at some point in life. It allows us to create and maintain a sort of community with a combination of folks that we see all the time and others whom we haven’t seen for many years. One thing that’s ironic about these sites is when people get a friend request from someone they don’t know very well, don’t like all that much, or barely knew in high school. It begs the question: Do I accept this person’s request? The down side to having this person on your list is that you don’t necessarily want them thinking they are your “friend”. They are then allowed access to your personal corner of the internet. One of the main pros AND cons to having people linked to your page is that it’s very easy to share photos and information with them. Regardless of the good and the bad aspects of these sites, they’ve definitely carved a place in our culture. People become addicted to spending time posting their random thoughts and reading other people’s thoughts and comments about their daily activities. I’m all for it. :)
