Facebookistan"


As a citizen of the nation of Facebook (or "Facebookistan"), what are your rights and responsibilities? How does this podcast--and a larger discussion of social media, which includes using blogs--fit within this class?

I have been using Facebook for a number of years now and my material on their have changed over the years. When I was like eleven or twelve the information that I posted was immature simply because I was young myself, and my family did not agree with some of the things that I posted so they had the right to take face book away from me for a little while. When I got older I matured and the things that I posted helped me through school with networking, and finding information about certain subjects. I couls message somebody for homework. Find out current events on my timeline, and search for thingson the research bar which is tied in with “FILTER BUBBLES”. Facebook is our responsibility to post things that we think is appropriate for people to view and if its not only select people you want to see it the restrictions is on us to keep control of our page that’s why we created it. Social meadia is a big part of our economy even in the class rooms today ever thing we do can be seen by other people for example the blog that we are doing today it is part of our class, and it is also a social network we get graded on this. I think “(Facebookistan") fits our class room because the information we receive through social media can determine our choice on how we seek look for research questions.

  1. I wish more people would mature with the things that they post on Facebook. They can make Facebook uncomfortable to be on sometimes. But I like how you made the connection between the podcast and the topic about filter bubbles that we discussed earlier in this class. I didn't even think about it that way.

  2. Filter bubbles are a good way of connecting facebook with class. I did not give filter bubbles any thought simply because I don't go on youtube to search for anything like groups or games or businesses. I agree with you about how it's our responsibility to post mature things, however, everyone doesn't post mature things on facebook and most of the time they don't get in trouble unless several people have flagged the immature material that was posted.
