Social+Networking

=Your thoughts on Social Networking: (like chat, texting, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Photobucket, etc.)=

//Type your name and what you think about each of the following://


 * Limiting what people can see online:
 * Stephanie: personal information
 * Slim: Actually - I am an adult so I'm not too afraid of what I allow people to see when I am on Facebook, etc. I don't friend students until they graduate. I block some pictures - not because I care, but I don't want to share pictures of my friends if they don't want me to. I know there are ways to limit what people see on Facebook but I haven't done it. I have a MySpace account but I don't use it much. And I do use Twitter and I generally don't put anything too personal on it. I have some pictures on Flickr - they are available to all the public. This might be a bad idea.
 * Mauricio: I believe that it was the worst thing that could have happened to the US culture and its new generations. Not only was the conventional use of the internet a negative influence on world society in the 20th century but the invention of social chatting networks only intensified it. I think that it was an absolutely genius idea for the companies behind these websites to create them for their multimillion dollar worth but ultimately it was a step backward in society.
 * Allexis: I think limiting what people what people can see is good because most of the stuff people look at migiht be inappropriate. The internet needs to be a little safer. I can understand where ms slim is coming from because well she has kids and they should not want to go on the internet when they are older and look at a myspace page with inappropriate things on it. So yes the internet needs to be a little more limtied to what people can see.
 * Andy - absent
 * Josh: Although the internet has opened a whole new world of social networking, such as Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter, many personal things should be kept private from the public. Personally, I use some of these sites, however, I hardly put anything on them that I wouldn't want others to see. Of course, it's all a matter of choice, but some bad choices can lead to others knowing something that they shouldn't or even child predators. Everyone should consider limiting what people can see online.
 * Carlos: I don't like that.
 * Annette: I think that it should be controlled to what can and can`t seen such as inappropriate things especially since technology is being used more now than ever and it should be controlled for minors. Also people shouldn`t post things online that they wouldnt want others to see.
 * Noemi
 * 
 * Vishal: do things are
 * Neel: yes i think its a good idea, because you are able to control what people can see about you, and dont have to be worried what people think about you if they have got all your information.
 * Anar: social networking has grown a lot since past couple of years. so has some crimes related to social networking. I think limiting what people can see online is the best option to have in all social networking sites. because sometimes, your personal information can lead someone to you and anything might happen. If you allow your friends to see your profile only, you do not have to worry about anything because you know them. and everyone else who you do not know do not have any access to your profile so you are safe.
 * Megan
 * Zack
 * Farshad: I think that it is ok for people to view things online as long as its appropriate
 * Kumail thinks that the internet should be open to all people and for those who shouldnt be viewing certain sites, it should be blocked by the primary holder of the internet of the household....that makes no sense
 * Ana i think..that it's OK ,but you shouldn't take out fun websites.The school should have a program that permits Mrs. Slim see what the ussers(students) are doing in the computers.
 * Maria well on myspace you can block what ever you don't want people to see but i also think that it should be safer and they should not be able to see wrong things.
 * Carolina
 * Mark: I don't put anything online that i don't want people to now or find out about me and i never put personal information that can be used against me.
 * Cernelle: as long as it is appropriate it is fine.
 * Victor:
 * Peter: absent 5/29/09
 * Matt
 * Steven
 * Jordon - i think that it should be limited if you're underage, a thing should pop up asking your age or some sort of information and also questions... there should be certain questions that show that you're at least 18 years old to be on that site.. and ask u questions about that period of time..
 * Melina- i think it depends on age. adults are responsible for what they choose to post online... but kids are often naiive and unaware of the consequences that can often happen due to the stuff they post. or like, sometimes kids end up seeing really intense things on websites like myspace that they should not even know of at that age. there should be a limit or some sort of parent notification in order to have control over what kids see on the web. and adults should me mature enough to handle what websites they go on.
 * Personal Information Online:
 * Stephanie: i dont think personal info should be displayed because other people dont have the right to see it
 * Slim: I don't think that my social security number is out there. I don't really give out my password. I try not to put out my address or phone number.
 * Mauricio:
 * Allexis
 * Andy
 * Josh
 * Carlos
 * Annette: people shouldn`t go online and give their personal information out to no one especially when they don`t know the person.Also if you put something online then just be careful exaclty what you put because by just putting some infornation people can easily find you.
 * Noemi
 * Monique:
 * Vishal - not any personal information
 * Neel: i try to be very careful when it comes to personal information. i easily don't trust anyone.
 * Anar : I strongly avoid puting my address, social security number, and credit card information on untrusted websites. if someone i know have recommended me a website, then i would not really mind giving out my information but still would be careful.
 * Megan
 * Zack
 * Farshad i dont think anyone should be able to access anyones personal info ever
 * Kumail PERSONAL information.....self explanatory
 * Ana No one should put their toal personal information online..never
 * Maria well if you don't want people to see them then don't put personal things.
 * Carolina
 * Mark: never put to much information i use my first name but never my last name.
 * Cernelle: just don't be to personal where they can find out where you live
 * Victor:
 * Peter: absent 5/29/09
 * Matt
 * Steven
 * Jordon- i don't think people should put anything personal about themselves for the safety of their lives and their reputation.
 * Melina- i think people should be really careful with what they put up. once again, especially kids... i personally don;t have a lot of stuff on my fcbk or mspc because in the first place i don't meet people online, it's all people i know and they already have a way of reaching me. i dont need to share my # or none

 * Farshad: we could be anonymous and not let anybody see it
 * Kumail dont post any personal information online
 * Ana If a person wants to finish a contact with another usser you could block the messages the other person gives to you and then eliminate it from your contact list.

 * Carolina
 * Mark: tell the person your not interested and block him or her if they don't get the point.
 * Cernelle: don't talk to people you don't know
 * Victor:
 * Peter: absent 5/29/09
 * Matt
 * Steven
 * Jordon- i don't think you should ever reveal your true identity online
 * Melina- depends on the case.. if it's really severe, then you might have to jsut get a new account or something. but if it's jsut a friend that is being annoying, then just block them or soemthing. & if it's an EXTREME case, call the cops... 911
