Weekly Post

Social media is becoming the "it" thing for our generation. Almost everyone you know has a MySpace or Facebook. I myself have both, I got a MySpace my senior year of high school and a Facebook my freshman year of college. I have come into contact with so many people I haven't seen in a long time, from elementary school to people who were on sports teams with me. I find it a great way to connect with people, those I know and those I have never met. I personally enjoy MySpace much better. Facebook seems to have a lot more pointless items, such as all of the poke, superpokes, and items to buy. My friend told me how it is perfectly when she first signed up, "why do I want to pay a dollar for a picture of a bunny?" Yes, this seems absolutely pointless, and I didn't get it either. Plus everyone is always sending notifications, "join and be a pirate" or "join and see what type of Barbie you are." I always find myself "ignoring" it all. So, my personal opinion is MySpace, it's easier and your page can be simple or if you want you can spice it up. As for other social places I heard of the website Virb and checked it out. I didn't seem to like it and notice very few people have them. Those who did have them didn't have very many friends and they didn't seem to work on their site very much, as if they made it to see what it's about, yet never returned. So I think I will stick to Facebook and MySpace. I also may check out Twitter and see what that has to offer. I haven't really heard of it until these past few weeks, so I plan to check that out at least.
