After class on Thursday I was thinking about all of the different groups that I have joined on facebook. I do not have a twitter or anything else so I took a closer look at the groups that I have joined over the past four years of my facebook user-ship. Honestly, I have no idea why I joined some, and the scary fact is that these people now have access to my page. I guess I was not as aware as I thought about joining groups on faceook.
When I googled, "how to make a facebook group" pages upon pages popped up instructing me, even video's on youtube came up visually showing me how to make such a group. Since it seems so easy to create groups on facebook I wondered what else was out there.
I found google groups and yahoo groups.
Anyone can join these groups. People with common interests can come together, whether it be scrap-booking or race car driving, there is a group for everyone out there. There are both positives and negatives that are associated with online groups. Networking is more than a positive, but the major negative is the lack of privacy and know-how of who can get your information. Next time I accept a facebook group invitation, I will think hard about whether or not to accept it.
