Mine if much similar to Jaclyns, but when I think about the wide array of people on Facebook, I realize that not everyone uses it to chat with their friends, update themselves on their friends lives by stalking their Facebook photos, and post funny comments and inside jokes to others' pages— most college students DO use Facebook as a tool to conquer boredom. In light of the uses and gratifications theory, most people probably go to Facebook to fulfill their interpersonal communication needs. Although, I doubt this is why my dad has Facebook, and this makes me realize how many marketers there are on Facebook as well. I probably get about 50 messages a day inviting me to events and inviting me to join groups. Seems like more than half the people on Facebook are seeking to create "cyber communities" and not just chit-chat with their friends and post photos of their life. With all of Facebook's options, people can use it for so many things. You can be a blogger, a promoter, a marketer, an advertiser, an employee doing a background search, a swinger looking for a relationship, and of course, a college student. Obviously Facebook has become such a successful site because it has the potential to reach and accommodate everyone. Way to go Mark Zuckerberg!Orenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434931437016330975noreply@blogger.com
