Why I Facebook?

Communication is involved in everything we do in life if we are not alone. Besides being one of the most important things to understand, communication is also highly fascinating. Communications 6910, Spring 2011 is a class I’m taking that discusses the new forms of digital communication that we are experiencing in the new millennium.

Let me share with you, a few ways and reasons I use Facebook.

Birthdays: People love to hear from you on your FaceBook. I try to go above and beyond when its someones Facebook and comment personally on their wall or even message them. For real good friends, I sent them a text or email. I only know its their Birthday because Facebook told me!

Pictures: how great is it to see someone’s latest trip to Maui. You can view dozens of pictures and comment and share your feedback. It’s lots of fun and rewarding for both people.

Email and Phone numbers: Both are easily accessible. If you are in someone’s friends list, you can easily get their phone or email number, which you might have lost or forgotten.

Networking: I use facebook to get to know people I might not already know. Classmates, friends of friends, members of groups I’m apart of. If they don’t like me, they can deny me or unfriend me, but most often I benefit and so they do and then I want to meet them in person.

Events: It’s real easy to get invited or hear about events on Facebook.

What I don’t use FaceBook for:

Farmville or any game app. I am too busy to have my life sucked away by useless applications and games like Farmville.
