FaceBook!!!

I LOVE my FaceBook! I must check this social networking site several times a day! It is really the only way I feel connected with all my friends, since I don’t see them in person on a day-to-day basis. I have been a part of this network for almost two years.

You can find out so much about your friends and your future friends on this site. People should be careful about what they post on these sites because employers have been known to check these sites for photos of substance abuse and reckless behavior.

Fun things you can do on FaceBook are: write on your friend’s Wall (forum), send them a private message, invite them to a group or event, share book/movie reviews, place an add in the marketplace, post your photo albums and now you can add all sorts of applications (100s of them) to more easily keep in contact with your friends. I found some of my friends from elementary school on this site.

I MUCH prefer FaceBook over MySpace. MySpace doesn’t seem quite as controlled or clean as FaceBook. When FaceBook first started you had to have a university email address to set up an account. Since then, high schoolers and people with generic (hotmail or yahoo) email accounts could set up a FaceBook account without being affiliated with a college. But FaceBook seems to be more closely monitored.

On MySpace you will probably get several dozen “friend requests” within the first day for people you don’t know or have no desire knowing. Some advantages that MySpace has over Facebook are more people have access to MySpace. Many local/national/international bands can set up MySpace accounts/websites for free. It is very easy to access.

Once you have set up your FaceBook account feel free to search my name: Amanda Huff and request me as a friend! : )
