Blog Free Writing

I think it is ridiculous how people get fired for what they post on their blog. Yes, they should be careful about what they say online because some people can find out if you say something hurtful towards them. On the other hand, I don't think that they should get fired because they posted something on their blog. It's their personal life on their blog and if they get fired I feel like it's being judgemental towards that person because of what they posted on their blog. I think it's kind of interesting how some people blog for a living. I would get bored and lazy to post a blog almost everyday about what you're going to do on that day. I would also feel violated because people would know personal stuff about my life that isn't necessary for them to know. I've always wondered why people like to blog in the first place. It's really boring, and I don't really think people care about what you're doing that day. But on the other hand Facebook is a blog, and I'm always on Facebook. My friends and I are very addicted to Facebook, so I can see if people blog once they get addicted to it and then they always do it.

Social Media Free Writing

In the video they said that if facebook was a country it would be the 4th largest. I thought that was very interesting, because there are a lot of people that use facebook. Including myself, every single one of my friends have a facebook. I use facebook to communicate with my friends and my cousins that live out of state. I keep in touch with all my friends from Austin, Minnesota. I used to live there and lost touch with all my friends from there until I discovered facebook. I've used facebook for probably about 3 years almost. I think that facebook comes in handy very much! Not only to me but to a lot of teenagers in the U.S. Even when I traveled over to Europe to play volleyball all the girls on the volleyball team had a facebook. So it comes in handy to teenagers in other countries. I keep in touch with the European team through facebook as well, because cell phones don't have that kind of signal, obviously. Also, there were many blog websites that I didn't even know existed. I also didn't realize how many people actually use the blogs. I thought that most people wouldn't use them, but I was wrong. I suppose that facebook is important to me so the blogs take place of facebook. So other people probably keep in touch with their friends by blogging instead of using facebook, like I do.
