Cyberculture
The invention of the internet has created an altogether different form of interaction among one another in society. We now have social communities online, aside from chat rooms and message boards which have been around for quite a long time. Most of us are a part of cyber culture. I myself am a user on myspace.com and facebook.com and a few message boards as well. Not to mention an email account, which almost every person on the face of the earth has, the ones with computers at least. The invention of these social networks has influenced me and my life quite a bit. Not only has the world gotten a closer look at who I am as person on myspace.com but I have gotten a better look at the world and who they really are. Some of these people include my friends and even people id have an idea of what I thought would make up a good social community. In my opinion, myspI have never met before. I have actually made quite a few friends on these social networking websites. When I first became a user on a social networking website I didn't really have any expectations. However, after I got a grip on the new dimension of communication that make up these websites I do think that myspace has more of what I am looking for than facebook, however facebook does have quite a few features that myspace doesn't. Myspace is more in depth and personal to me than facebook is, but that's just my opinion. But in all, "cyber culture" has met my expectations. And as more and more arise in the future, they most likely will be met by the people who run the social networking websites.

The thing with social networking is that it is so easy to make judgments about people that might not even be true if you met the person in person. It's weird how different people's opinions of myspace and facebook are. You (and not just you, many others) like these sites because they help you to get along with people, while I look at these websites after experiencing them and think that they are more of a hassle than they're worth. I guess it is a matter of personal preference, and how you like to get to know other people.
Yes I agree with you when you say that everyone on the face of the earth that has a computer has an e-mail acount. The internet is a different form of communitcation and its easy for people to take a custume to.
Social networking is and has been a very useful tool in my communication process, but at the same time it has been very harmful. Some of these websites gives away too much personal information that suppose to be for your eyes only. It is very easy for others to hack your profile and publish things on it that can be harmful to you and others.
Social Networks is a very descriptive term to sum up Cyber culture. Stating that these networks bring the world much closer is very observant on your part. Furthermore Cyber Culture is definataly a new dimension of communication that still in my opinion is in the beginning stages and will continue to be updated along with technology.
The cyber culture is a big part in everyone life including mine. At first i also did not think that i was going to go very far b having a myspace of a facebook. Now that i have both i feel as if myspace had opened many doors for me and face bool has kept me intouch. Both of those quilties are good.
I feel that myspace is more personal too. Facebook has poking and that kind of thing which makes communicating with someone even less personal. I also feel it's much easier to express myself on myspace than I can on facebook because my profile is set to private so I know that only my friends will get to read those posts.
I agree with you that you wouldn't think you'd be talking to people on these social sites but you end up talking to them. These sites make communicating so much more easy for people
