Tutorial 6

A topic that is of interest to me is how people communicate online.


Facebook- is a social networking site its allows you to connect with friends, family and businesses through this site is also allows to play game and socialize. This site is very interactive because you can actively talk to people on the site as well as post messages on peoples pages, A way to contribute is to post things on your pages as well as communicating with others you can make events and invite people to them you can also play games. People choose to contribute to this community because it is a way to keep in touch with friends as well as you can join group where people share a similar interest as you and you are able to relate to them through it. Once information is posted on facebook you can take it off but sometimes people out photo's up of you and they "tag" you in them and you might not want them up there and so that is where ethical issues come into it or someone can put up a post about you that you don't want up there. With facebook it has you name on it and pictures but some people can make false accounts and pretend to be people. i think that facebook is a nested community because it a community the can contain a lot of other communities such as cultural and organisation.

Twitter -Is a social networking service and it allows the people who use it to send and read message that are called 'tweets'. The Tweets are posts that can be put on the users profile but only display up to 140 characters. Tweets are publicly visible but can be restrict to jus the person followers. Users may subscribe to other uses such as friends they can even follow celebrities and you can follow you interests. The purpose of this site is to connect people socially through another medium. The site is interactive because you can post tweets and follow other people tweets. People contribute to this community because they want to socialise and they can find out what other people are doing around the world and share information on what they are doing, i think that the ethical issues is that tweets can be about people and information can be shared that they don't want to be shared and again i feel that this community is a nest one because it have more then one community in it it has cultural and people from didn't occupations.

Youtube- YouTube is a video sharing website where people can upload, share and view videos. The purpose of this site is to share information. The site is interactive through being able to watch or upload videos of you choice. you can contribute by making a video or even just simply following someone who does or posting comments on videos. People choose to contribute to this community to get there idea out there or just to show something that they find interesting to the world. You could have a lack of identity on youtube because you don't have to post or have a video to view and follow people on youtube. Again i feel that this is a nest community because it has more then one cultural there are so many different people from different area and walks of life. the ethical issue is that people can put videos of you up on youtube that you don't want up there.
