Facebook/Friendster ?

Question

What are you thoughts abt these social network site's? Y do ppl love to use them? How safe are they?

Answer 1

These sites share the same objective -to bring people together. I use this to update my family and friends (& vice versa) of what's happening to me, not in details but i.e. pictures and status.

Others use this to meet old and new friends, or simply to express themselves, interests, hobbies, etc. It's like an online scrapbook, diary, album..whatever u call it. It has lots of features added (not juz messaging ofcourse) like games, slideshows music clips juz to mention a few.

It would be safe if u have true friends included in your network, & u don't actually have to disclose everything here if u wanna be safer (like friendster). There's an option if u don't want strangers looking at your profile. Keep your passwords with you.

Answer 2

i love facebook, although to be honest ive never tried friendster. all my friends use facebook and its a great way of keeping in touch, also finding people who you've lost touch with. there are tons of cool applications, games and features like photo albums etc. ive never had any trouble on facebook so i assume its safe, i think you just need to be aware of people you dont know trying to get info or access to your profile. basically never give out any personal details or i.d. have fun!!

Answer 3

i use facebook, i really like it. i can hear the news of my uni friends & c what they r upto & what they r doing with their lives since i graduated last summer.

i liked the fact that nobody is able to c ur page or c ur photos unless u add them to ur friend list & for me i don't add ppl i don't know so its pretty safe.

Answer 4

I really wouldn't prefer these community sites.

Well i used to have profiles on Hi5 and myspace but ended it about 3 years ago when i heard the stuff in the news.

But that's not the only reason. In my class, about every month, i heard from students that thier accounts were hacked and all that stuff.

Hackers had access to their pics and contacts and IDENTITY!

Maybe they would have also posted some of the pics on the internet.

So i wouldn't really recommend these sites but it's your choice.  

Answer 5

I use facebook. I find it great for keeping in touch with friends and its very safe.
