Review:

 

 

            Facebook is another social networking site similar with friendster, multiply and myspace. But compare with these other three social network sites, I think facebook is really the best. Friendster is the first social networking sites where most teenagers became social network aficionado. Then here comes multiply, a photo album like site in the web. I think facebook is just a compilation of both multiply and friendster. You can connect with your friends and at the same time upload tons of pictures online. Facebook also offers games and other fun stuffs like quizzes, rate you favorites, chose five stars, be a fan of someone, and many other things. Unlike with friendster and multiply, you can not see who viewed your account. But in a way, most people prefer this because no one will know if they are stalking someone.

 

 

 I have heard an issue that someone died or get hurt because of facebook. Jealousy is the main reason. I think whoever these people who were involved in that incident maybe not in their proper state of mind when the killing or the hurting happened. Of course, you can be friends with your ex through facebook and you can view their profile. But that’s it. It is up to the person if he or she wants to communicate with his or her ex like chatting to them through facebook chat. I think being friends with your ex when you are single is a different story with being friends with them when you are attached to somebody else. Jealousy arises when your partner finds out that you still have a contact with your ex. In my perspective, as a girl, I think it is not necessary that I or my partner be friends with an ex even if it is just in facebook or in any other social networking sites. If the partner wants to have a smooth sailing relationship then they should both agree that small things like this, befriending or connecting with an ex through facebook, should not be done because it may lead to jealousy problems.

 

 

 

 

What I have learned:

 

I have learned that facebook can really lead to jealousy problems because people or girls in particular are born to be semi-insecure with their current partner’s ex. Maybe because they know that those people had a romantic connection with their partner before and as their present partner, they can’t stand the fact that their partner has loved someone else before them.
