While I was reading the first article I kept thinking.. this girl is crazy! Then i realize I have similar tendencies and I check my social media often. I could relate to the first article in this sense because I do have a facebook account and a twitter. My writing is completely different on both. I feel that I write differently on each is because im presenting it to different audiences.
I feel many people have different varieties of social media accounts and use them for different reasons. I would imagine a twenty something female writing about her most embarrassing moment on match.com online profile. As humans in todays world with the technology we are using, we naturally have different sides and write differently on how we see fit.
People, professional people now use social media to promote their businesses. Teachers are using twitter to discuss classroom issues that use to be discussion only. The world is evolving and i don't necessarily think its a bad thing. When I was going through grade school, I was always so shy to answer. I would usually say the answer in my head, but unsure if it was correct and when it was i would want to kick myself for not expressing the answer. Imagine if a teacher posted a discussion or question on twitter or facebook and I had the freedom to write how I felt without feeling watched by my peers.. I would be proud of myself and my writing and would this give me the confidence to when i have a real classroom discussion I could participate in?
AIM, facebook, twitter, friendster and myspace to name a few of the many many that are out there is what is connecting people every where in many different ways. I talk to my best friend in california almost every day on facebook. It is amazing how I know what she is up to and who she hangs out with over there. My mother talks to our relatives in Germany and she learns new things about her family that we didn't know before social media because her father died when she was young. I find it amazing that people can connect in many different ways due to social media.
