Social networking sites like Facebook have a
huge impact on most people’s daily routine, and a lot of them take up a huge
amount of time. These networks are for talking to people you know and to
communicate with others. Although sometimes it can be linked to cyber bullying.
Facebook was also only set up for a university but spread and is now a huge
website worldwide. Sites like YouTube able people to make an account and post
videos of their own to share with people all over the world and communicate
through searching, commenting and uploading videos…You can also link these
sorts of sites together for example YouTube can be shared from YouTube on to
websites like Facebook, twitter etc.. YouTube is for posting/commenting on videos
and they can be to do with pretty much anything also they can get you noticed
for instance people like Justin Beiber, Connor Maynard and Christina Grimme all
put up singing videos and are now famous from being scouted by record
companies… Also videos can be purely for entertaining for people for example
videos like ‘one pound fish’ and ‘Gangnam style’. Twitter is a more recent social
networking site which involves following people and hash tagging for example
people post something and just like instagram hash tag things that can link
into it and add people. Also twitter is a very big trend at the moment and it’s
going through exactly the same phase that MySpace, Bebo and face book went
through with everyone wanting to have an account… Another thing that has been
on twitter fairly recently was the sick joke about the young famous singer
Justin Beiber this was only something fairly small… This was the young star
smoking cannabis these pictures were soon proved false but had already lead on
to something dreadful like young girls cutting themselves to make him stop and
also sacrificing pets… Twitter didn’t crack down on this straight away but are
in the process of finding out all the people who started this joke. This was an
example of people abusing social networking sites as people that have
depression may feel mocked by what happened. Ask. FM is also a fairly new
social networking/ question site where people can have accounts and go on to
others and ask them questions to o one of the problems of this is that it
causes people to give out hate through anon(being anonymous) as there is an
option whether to reveal who you are or stay on anon, although you can block
anon questions from your account many people don’t which can cause people to
give a lot of abuse for example telling people that there ugly, worthless and
to kill themselves. So this shows that
social networking sites can have a huge effect on people’s lives excpecially
when it comes to abuse or cyber bullying online
