Facebook Freedom?


Recently, I shared Ginette's (GE-555) blog posting with a colleague of mine... She had been complaining about her vulnerability on the web and use of Facebook and Twitter, etc...

The blog made an impact, and she deleted her Facebook account. She explained that she thought she was becoming too reliant on it and wasting too much time. Since that time, she told me she has become "freed" from the constant checking and updating she used to do on Facebook. People wonder where "she is", but she is back where she should be--the real world.

Is this the backlash that will eventually occur when people get tired of Facebook and MySpace? Will this ever occur with the current generation?

Take a look at this link and see what you think:

Twitter in Education

In response to Jim's blog (GE555 class Smitty's Section), here is some more Twitter information. Go look at his video to get an idea of what Twiiter is "in plain English".

This video explains how Twitter is related to education, blogging, and Facebook.

Enjoy!
