After reading numerous blogs, everyone has their own opinion on what social networking means for them and how they use it. Social networking is an incredible tool for an individual to express themselves, and also enables them to connect with their friends instantly. As the days of printed paper become extinct, social media enables a message to reach a large audience at a few clicks on a computer or mobile device. Robin Pertusi's blog states that "Facebook’s purpose is to maintain or foster both old and new friendships that are pre-existing to the physical act of 'accepting' a 'friend request' on Facebook. While Twitter’s purpose is to build new relationships with people that you may not even know but are interested in what they have to say." I completely agree with Robin, and she brought up a great point. Smg314 has dived into her blog and has posted pictures that are incredible. Kimmy Rae Goldberg in her blog posted that "blogs need character and a voice"and this is necessary for a blog to gain body and truly capture the reader. Caroline Bucky fully customized her blog with a rain drop background and she raised a great concluding statement that since social media is public and information is released online, to always think prior to posting or releasing information. Although you can set privacy settings, your posts really aren't that private, and you need to tweet and post on Facebook with the best of intentions and if anyone were to search through your social networking sites, that you have nothing to hide or be ashamed of.
Your links to other blog has an inconsistent format. Stick iwth the first style, for "Robin's" blog. Also, get into the habit of clicking "open in new window" when setting the parameters for the link. It's easier on the reader - especially if they are in the middle of posting a comment.
