after reading Wurster's "Won't you be my Friendster?" I have would state that i can concrete see the points she was trying to put emphasis on. my experience with Social-networking sites has been similar to hers, with the good and the bad. when Myspace first emerged, i found myself turned off by the inane idea of putting up pictures of myself and disclosing personal information for anyone and everyone to see. however, curiousity would soon override common sense and i found myself on Myspace, chatting with people familiar and unfamilar. I found that I could keep and touch with old friends and make new ones with the click of a mouse. however, as Wurster states, "the openness and remoteness of the internet can weaken healthy inhabititans." girls that i had been friends with could be seen bearing most of it, (not all, thank god) for anyone willing to glance at their page. underage kids would lie about their age to gain access to these sites. people would lash out at other peoples pages in vicious comments that would eventually lead to fights. i guess that when your on the internet talking to someone you may or may not know, you tend to gain a false sense of inviciblity because you don't think anything can happen when your in the comfort of your home on the web. like them, love them, hate them, it doesnt appear that Social Networking Sites such as Myspace and Facebook are going anywhere.
