The Flipside of Social Networking (Facebook, MySpace, Multiply, Friend

[Barenaked-NoMre]

SNS ... helps, informs, educates, connects BUT also destroys, manipulates others, maligns and even hurts people.

 

Yes, there are BOTH the POSITIVE & NEGATIVE aspects of these SNS.

 

It's really about HOW we will use it.

 

For the young ... HELP them KNOW how to use it WISELY. Not just for games ...

 

Have seen some FB stories of people helping others via FB posts/appeals.

 

Admittedly, this is TIME CONSUMING ... yes, coz you WANT/NEED to CONNECT with others. People of the SAME interests ... hence, we are here on MTC!

 

But STILL go out there in the REAL world & CONNECT with the people around you ... at home, work/school or the social circles you happen to be a part of.

 

I know MANY "groups" ... from the SAME location/area, or the "Coffee Addicts", etc here who meet OFFLINE & just "hang out together".

 

I do think that there are MORE positive things that SNS has given us ...

 

The BAD is just a percentage.

 

Let's USE it for MORE good!

Did you know that you can be sued for defamation over Facebook comments? If you post an angry remark directed at an important person, even if you are not sued, you would get into serious trouble with him later. While most of us won’t be so foolish to make a defamatory remark, we are also being judged on how we present ourselves on social media.

 

Social recruitment firm Jobvite did a survey and found out that an overwhelming 92 per cent of recruiters use social networking sites such as vetting their candidates. Imagine if there were two similar candidates vying for a single teaching vacancy. One is a Facebook angel who spends her weekend caring for the disadvantaged children. The other candidate prefers to go drinking with her friends. Both of them post their photos regularly on Facebook. Who do you think is more likely to get the job?

 

What if I were to tell you that you can have your cake and eat it too? In other words, what if you can stay connected with your friends with images and say whatever you want to say without fear of retribution?

You can't even have a good conversation without group of friends without someone checking facebook every now and then. Even sa inuman, may mag lalabas ng phone.

 

Funny thing is that when you're planning to meet and chatting on messenger everyone seems excited but when you're face to face already, it's like you don't know how to socialize anymore.

 

Advantage for me is that when I'm bored I get to see people arguing on facebook and it's hella funny.

Napansin ko rin ito...

 

Mas okay talaga kung kaharap mo ang kausap...dama mo ang sinseridad at kita mo ang expressions

Lacking social skills

[black cat]

Puro negative naman (flipside nga kse eh hehe). I am no longer addicted to fb unlike before. Know what, I think the pros naman still outweighs the cons kaya nga dumadami sila. Yes, it's an effective way to reconnect and keep in touch. Lalo na at busy tayo lahat at hellish lagi ang traffic.. at least updated ka pa din what's goin on with your loved ones and friends.

Addictive...

 

All activities should be chronicled via social network

To those who like to post on social media, just remember 2 things:

 

1. Once you post, it's there FOREVER. Even if you delete it, someone may have already downloaded it. So someone out there has it and he can repost it again and again. So careful what you post.

 

2. The information you post may be used against you. You are giving your friends details about your life. But once it becomes public, your enemies can see it too. Even if your network is private, secrets have a way of escaping, the more people you tell the greater the risk. Again, be careful what you post.

false sense of connection and decreased productivity

 

Social networking sites encourage people to be more public about their personal lives. Because intimate details of our lives can be posted so easily, users are prone to bypass the filters they might normally employ when talking about their private lives.

kukiuyugin ka ng mga bullies; worse, di mo sila kakilala

Facebook is showing it's true colours with its share price plunging. Zuckerberg and co. is looking mighty desperate in suckering people in with this fear mongering trite.

Social network sites like Facebook makes iyou think that you're missing out on a lot of things. You see your friends going abroad, eating out every other day, going out with friends, buying expensive bags and shoes, getting a new car, getting married etc.

I agree. Nagiging materialistic at pinagmumulan ng inggit. Iisipin mo na kawawa ka compared sa friends mo na mayayaman.
