The different uses of facebook
September 12, 2009
I joined Facebook about a year ago. The main reason for me was the international possibilities of this internet page. I went to Valencia, and in Valencia I was going to make international friends. With this international friends, I needed to stay in contact, share photos, play games, add comments, tag people on ugly photos and much more which I never found out anyway.
The biggest disadvantage of facebook for me is that I always kinda lose my way on Facebook. If you log in, you go immediately to the big homepage. A crisis of identity hits me. I log in, with my name and my password and all the information of other people is standing right in front of me! I got a ‘Johanna Waksam from Sweden’ who wants to travel to Spain another time, I got a ‘Eva Wiggelendam from Amsterdam’ who got a house in Sevilla, I got a ‘Annejet Klaver who says to Jun Yup Song that she wants to Skype with him quickly’…It’s just so much information about other people that it is overwhelming me, most of the time I quit Facebook as fast as I can.
I’m not the only one who gets sick of Facebook sometimes. ‘Barb Dybwad’ is a professional blogger and works in the Mashable team. She wrote that psychologists confirmed that increased Facebook usage predicts facebook-related jealousy. Does your partner claim he’s working late, but show up tagged in birthday party photos from that night? Do you want to change your status to ‘in relationship with…a loser? Then you’re in good company with this video.
