Facebook and Myspace

Myspace and Facebook are both social network websites.  They are both used by many people for different things.  These websites are both good ways to keep in touch with your friends and for many other different things, but these websites can also be bad because people you don’t know can see what you are doing.
            Facebook and Myspace are both a good thing for the social aspect because they keep you in touch with many of your friends or family members.  If you had a really close friend from school and they moved away to another state or country you would be able to stay in touch with them if you both had either Facebook or Myspace.  On these websites you have a profile where you can share your personal interests.  You can also communicate with your friends by sending them messages on Facebook.  These websites are a good way to stay in touch with your friends.  These websites can be bad at the same time though because you can have someone friend request you and not know who they are.  People all over the world have Facebook or Myspace so you don’t know everyone on the website. 
            These websites also can be used for business.  You can make groups on Facebook to help you advertise your companies and help spread the word about your business.  These sites can also help you stay in touch with all the employees that you need to work with.  Also this can help because if you are hiring a new worker you can look who they are on Facebook or Myspace if they have one of these websites to see if this is the type of person you want working with you or for you.  This can help you determine also if a person already works for you it can help you see if they are behaving outside of work.  This can be bad for your business because your boss can see what you are doing and if they see something that you did that they didn’t like, you could maybe get fired because of your behavior.
            Facebook and Myspace can also help you with the latest news.  These sites can help you stay to date with the news because people can post about something going on, and they can try and stop it by making a “status” letting people know what is happening.  If people want other people to know whats going on and want to help stop it, they can post it on their page and then make it known to their friends.  This can also be a bad thing because if you post something that you didn’t want other people to see, you made the mistake of putting it onto Facebook or Myspace because people could see it right away and then it would be known to a lot of people.
