Week 8 - It Is All Just One Click Away...

You can find anyone online nowadays, if it isn't one site, its the other. Everyone is starting to make themselves available online to reach those who they have lost contact with over the years. Facebook is a more formal version of a networking site, it is used to find those long lost school mates who have lost touched or moved away. Although it can be used to meet new people, Facebook is more oriented towards those who have already known each other in the past. Now if you are looking towards meeting new people in general, you can try a site such as Myspace or Ning. Those sites are more oriented towards those who want to meet and make new friends, however it can be used by those who do just want to keep in touch. Myspace allows the user to completely customize their profile page to their liking to let others view their style and likings. Although most of these sites seem like great sites, they all do have their bad sides, the "bad" people in the world. These sites have been known to cause problems for some who have just been using the sites to meet new people, while I'm not saying do not use them, I do recommend that you do use them with caution. Don't trust everyone you meet in other words.
