There are different social networks, many could argue that YouTube and deviantART are social networks...
Even though I made the thread having in mind the hi5, tagged, twitter, Facebook and MySpace type of SN, you are free to expand and discuss further than those.


What is your opinion in social networks?

Which ones are you part of (or used to be)?

I don't really like social networks to be honest. I find that people don't have any privacy anymore and that now on facebook you can get this app on the blackberry that lets others know exactly where you are. Isn't that creepy?

I mean this is the stockers special! hahaha

I'm a part of Facebook but rarely go on it. I only go on it to talk to my ex's mom (long story short my ex and I are still friends and his family and I still hang out)

I used to have myspace but no longer go on it and I think at one point I had twitter. I don't go on that one either.

I find social networks are a lot of drama and you don't have any privacy. Plus I hate all the advertisments and pops up for games and what not.

Since I like reality TV, I find face book interesting, entertaiment, I also use it to save animals lives, Rescue Animals that is, I just recently saved a Cats life, Dusty Girls, in North Carolina, and I live near Albany, New York, which is 12 hours away, So now the cats here, safe with me, and All my cats are rescue, and One rescue sheltie collie, so face book works sometimes, Since then , I started a New York Animal Rescues group on FB, so I can help relocate animals that will be put to sleep if a home isn't found, so it's paying off already cause I saved more Animals lives. But I hear what your saying about privacy, lol, it's funny how people let you know stuff like when the last blew their nose or something, just to funny, entertainment i say! lol, That's why I prefer to have started my own website, so I can prevent the calamity of things. Best wishes, GuyS~

They can do a bit of help and they are something I do use when connecting with a community or family (when I can't otherwise). Sometime s they can be harmful but it depends on who's hands they are in and what purpose they are used for.

I used to be a part of Myspace, but I do still use Xanga, Tumblr, Twitter(rarely), Google + (rarely) and Facebook of course ;D
