Facebook Motto: With Power comes great Responsibility

The power of the Internet is subtle yet strong and magnanimous. But as the saying goes with power comes great responsibility. we can not but deny that there are minors using the social network Facebook. High school students are already into Facebook and I can not blame them for I for one is a Facebook addict. I can not just start a day without checking my Facebook account and checking what everybody has been doing.

A person new to social networking will have no hesitation in giving out personal information from his complete physical address, name, school, and even the telephone numbers. Besides that others will not hesitate to upload titillating pictures.

So what am I up to?

I saw a video of how Facebook became a tool in the completion of a crime. I am worried and alarmed by this. If anybody who has bad intentions will really find and trace to your home. Your home must and should be your sagest haven but due to ignorance kids and adults alike can endanger the safeness of the home.

This article is both for parents and the children who are using social networks that they should be extra careful and should orient their children on the proper and safe way of using the social networks.

With the power that the Internet rings should be a great responsibility for parents and society to orient the children in the proper usage of the social network.

We know that we can not stop the popularity of Facebook. We know we can not deny that our children have the possibility of getting hook on this social network. If we deny them the privilege of using any social network at home then they will go out and get it outside which is much dangerous for they will be unguided. The curiosity of our children with social network can not be stop for it is the talk about in our society. How can we stop it when we hear hear it in our daily news and we hear it at school and at work.

So the best thing that parents should do is to orient the children with the social network and teach them the safe and responsible way of using it.

82nd Oscars Academy Award Will Never Be the Same Again

The 82nd Oscars Academy will indeed never be the same again with the birth of social media like Twitter, Facebook and other social media tools and means. Why would they stay the same when all these are taken into another height and level of awareness?

The Oscars Awards is prestigious at the same bulleted with controversies and issues. Long time ago ‘controversial’ figure will have to wait for the interview request from the media and news network to air their side of the controversy. But now it only takes a flick of a finger and whoa everybody now knows what you can say about the story.

Twitter is really a marvel both for the ordinary people and the stars in Hollywood. The mini-tweets that they can air are mini-representation of the most current emotions and status of their minds. They do not even need the television crews in the land and it only takes an internet connection and all its gadgets to voice out your opinion.

I believe that the stars that receive the award immediately went to open their twitter accounts to shout their latest conquest. The most interesting tweets are from those who did not receive the awards. For I know they would have to make an uplifting tweets.

Facebook accounts of these stars both the winners and the losers would definitely have pictures for the fans to grab. The 82nd Oscars Academy Awards are never as much as covered as it is today. That is a thank you to hundreds of social networks that now exist.

Yet, some of the online users do not know that sometimes they hit the wrong button of displaying or updating their status. In order to avoid these things to happen again next year below are some of significant tips to follow.

Following the wrong site accidentally—it is good to follow back those people who also followed you on twitter. But make sure that those people have credible profile. It is because some of them do not give good benefits to your profile especially if you are making Twitter profile for your business. Therefore, an automatic tool that is being used for automatic following is not really a good option.

Sending private messages in public—Facebook and Twitter are known well for instant communication. If we notice we immediately respond on the go when someone is sending us message without thinking that we hit the wrong button. To avoid this, recheck if you are really hitting the right button. Since sometimes it may turn to chaos.

Avoid the habit of responding to email with the Reply all buttons—this is a no-no you should have to avoid this kind of habit. Because there are tendencies that the message wouldn’t suit to the person you are sending with. It would be nice that before you send the message, you would review it again and choose those people you really are genuinely to send about.

If you are just keen enough about your moves online, your business or whatever purpose you have online would be successful.

Facebook Application for Christmas

What latest facebook application is you so crazy about? I have to admit again I am the last about the internet world. Though, online games are a niche that I intend to conquer but the when is not yet set. Yes, as a normal breathing human being, we should get abreast with the latest news and fads or games that people get crazy about.

Here are the list of the events that prodded me to at least try the facebook applications.

1. The Farmtown mania hit the office long before the Michael Jackson mania hit town. Yet, I was not prodded until my nieces go crazy about it and ask my email add not for any other reason but for Farm town. Now, so here I come and got hooked with Farm town but to my disappoint it was not Farm Town that I got hooked with every morning but Farmville. There is a difference you know.

2. The next guy in town is farming already and even the normal media man plays farm town before they wrote their news for the next day. Mind you I sat down with the most popular media man in our town and to my amusement well he played farm town for an hour before starting to write the news the next day. I made sure that I visited the news stand to read his article the next day. I was just curious.

3. Facebook applications vary from mafia to the tame Cafe world and Fishville and Farm Town. Yet are these applications good for children or for adults? I have to admit that the ‘child’ in me is reawakened every time I play any of Facebook applications. As a person who studies human behavior I have to say that facebook application are good if moderately played by both adults and children.

If parents know how to handle their kids by letting them play with the game you are giving them the chance to be a child and be aware of the latest fad during their time. But overdoing is another story.

Christmas Holiday is long but with facebook in your house… daddy and the children could compete who got the highest score on a chosen facebook application. It will never be a boring holiday and that is a big thank you to facebook.

Even families separated by distance can feel the closeness this Christmas season. They can play one game and build camaraderie and friendship.
