BLOG 7: Internet

Wikipedia has about 18 social networking sites listed. I did not know most of them, so I chose Wretch as the one to look up.

Wretch is supposed to be the biggest blog community in Taiwan with thousands of users registered. Wretch provides free albums and blogs on their hosting service, along with several different language options.

Social networking sites, on a large scale are used for socializing amongst friends and family or getting to know new people. My personal use is very limited, since I don't have a large interest in using the computer for other reasons than homework and research. I used to have Facebook, but never really went to it, so I deactivated the account. As for my personal use, I did used to talk to friends, invite large groups to future events, catch up with people I had not spoken to in years, and so on.

A personal experience which was not so great would have to be when a guy I was dating posted a bunch of stuff about his birthday celebration, which included, but was not limited to dancers, drugs, skinny dipping, and overwhelming drunkenness. Needless to say, I read it before he and his friends could remove what they put while behaving ridiculously, and broke up with him. You could say it was helpful since it showed me what he was hiding ha ha.

  4. It's a great way to find out more than people want to reveal at first.

  5. Wow, that's so ridiculous that he thought he could get away with it, especially nowadays when every party has that one photographer who puts everything online. But awesome job kicking him to the curb!
