Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, Twitter…the list could go on forever! But are we using them more and more often?

Okay, so i use the main three social networking sites, and yes, i am a bit addicted to them, but why not? We get to share our photos, videos, leave our friends comments, listen to new music but are we using them too much?

Instead of talking face to face or even on the telephone, we are choosing to type out messages and even send “love” over thse sites. Does anyone even talk anymore?

There is a few bad points to these sites, as many messages may be misconstrued and taken in the wrong way. You cant obviously hear the sarcasm in the person’s voice and arguements mat occur. Believe me, this has happened many many times to people i know!

Another thing is that, unless your profile is set to private, many people you dont know or whom you dont want nosying at your site, can gain access, copy pictures and leave comments.

I like to use these sites, mainly for catching up with old friends whom i havent seen in a while, and for looking at my friends photos from the mad weekend gone past. But my advise to parents of 14 year olds or under, is watch what content is on their sites or people who add them as “friends”.

Please, get on the phone and talk to your friends! Meet up with them at coffee houses! Socialise in person! Or we might all lose the ability and confidence to talk to one another!!!
