There are many ways to use social networks, particularly Facebook. But as for me, I have a handful of uses for it. Some of them are the ff:
- For entertainment purposes. What else could be the top of the chart rather than this. Facebook provides me leisure that I very much enjoy. When everything gets down the drain, Facebook is my almost-always therapy. It's less fun than blogging but still you see different links to stuff that you might like. It's like a big chat room that you enter wherein you can see the things you would like and would not like the same time. Reading posts over posts replenishes my energy even if it does not concern any bit about me. Weird. But I find it very entertaining. It's one of my non-sadistic ways of reducing stress.
- For communication purposes. Of course, this would always come up. What's a social network for if it's not for communication right? It would be nonsense if it's not. Facebook is a page of interaction of those who are closely related, seemingly related, and those who are not connected at all. You can call it a popularity site sometimes wherein you show off the best pictures you have may it be yours or not. Sometimes, it's the editing that is noticed. Weird. But it's true. Well, I am one of those actually. At least, I admit wholeheartedly. Not like those who-must-not-be-named persons. But as for me, Facebook provides more than communications but knowledge as well. I seldom use my phone, which my classmates find very annoying. Oh well. I guess it can't be helped. What I lack in texting, I very much apply in typing. Facebook is kinda my phone really. It's where I communicate with those who are concerned with things I don't know. Like studies and projects for example. I'm the type of guy who forgets much of those things so basically I ask. And boy I asked hard. It's a cheaper way of getting in touch with those you know now, yesterday, and way back. In simple terms, Facebook.com is my new Blackberry, Nokia, LG, and anything else.
