So it looks like there are these three mainstream social websites. Which are you using and why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of them?
I heard many people complaining about facebook privacy settings, but actually, I've never had problems with them. You just go to privacy settings and control who can see your profile and how. For example, I have a list of friends, who can see everything about me. Friends of friends can see some limited information, while everybody else can see nothing! Literally nothing. Non, zip, zero, nada. Also I have a list called "invisibility". Why? Did you ever get a friend request from someone who you don't know? Well, I don't refuse these requests, but I put all these people into this invisibility list. What can they see about me? Literally nothing. Non, zip, zero, nada. What can I see about them? Everything!
I personally don't like twitter, and I heard youg people saying about our generation: "why would they invent twitter? It's so stupid!"...
myspace - never used it... it looks like everyone can register. On facebook it is good that you can enter the network of your school or work onl if oyu have the corresponding email address. But now much more people can join too - and this leads to fraud, spam and quality loss. But it looks like they're working hard to fix these...
Also good network is linkedin - but that one is purely professional. Do you know of any hires which were initiated on linkedin?
Just couple days ago MySpce deeply integrated with Facebook along with total visual re-design.
ReplyDeleteI think they definitelly needed this. When most of people are in Facebook they have no time to spent in other networks, so if you are wishing to be succesfull in Social netowkrs - get it connected with Facebook for sure.
Also about Ping. Have you heard any exciting impressions from there? I have not. You know why? They are too damn far from Facebook.
