Myspace & Facebook Articles #17

In today's articles I learned that people can scan you on facebook. You have to be really careful what you post online about yourself. A lot of college admissions officers are looking at students profiles to determine if they fit into the company's requirements. You never know who might be looking at your profile at any time. Mrs. Crawford told the class about on situation a lady had. This one lady was somebody big in a company, but the only this was that she also would go to a night club in a small town where everybody knew everyone. Well this lady would get drunk and get crazy at the one little club. So after the night was over she would go back to work and post a mood that she still had a hang over from the night before. Well some one in the company found out about her myspace/facebook status and called her into their office and asked her about it. When you do stuff like this, it will get around to your boss. You can even lose your job with a simple lie that you have posted up on myspace/facebook. It is better to keep all personal feelings to your self and never post a picture which might have a bad effect on you in the long run. A lot of people might get your pictures and print them out and could pass them around to show every one who you are when you are not at work or school.

The second articles was "Does Facebook impact on grades?" Some studies were done University's and the out come was that seventy-nine percent of students said that Facebook did not have an impact on their grades. But it did show that sixty-five percent of Facebook members go check their account at least once a day. Well it all depends on the person whom has a Facebook account weather if their grades drop low. If they spend more time online chatting with friends, the time will fly by and by the time you know it will be to late and you will never finish your work. That may be one of the reasons why students have lower their school grades. There is always time to chat with friends after you finish with your school work. A lot of members say that they spend hours on Facebook chatting with friends.
