Respond to content week 7 : Wikipedia and Facebook

In this week’s tutorial task it’s a couple of things who is on the discussion plan. First of all is how Wikipedia is useful.  I think Wikipedia is useful because it covers almost everything, it is not a reliable source since anyone can go in and edit there. However it is a very good info place and it’s a good place to get basic info. To make Wikipedia most useful you get the info you need from Wikipedia, then you research it more to find out if that is really reliable. I personally have never edited anything at Wikipedia however I can’t imagine it would be very hard. 

The number two topic on this week’s agenda is why Facebook work. Facebook is now one of the biggest social Medias. There are more than 800 million active users on Facebook (Facebook, 2011). The reasons this social Media have worked out so good is many. Some of them are: Easy to stay in contact with friends and family. Meet new people (dating/flirting) maybe one of the biggest group of people using it. Easy to monitor friends and see what people are doing. I thought it would be difficult to delete your Facebook account, however I found it very easy. I found three ways. The easiest is the one I am going to share with you. All I had to do was sending Facebook an email saying that I wanted to delete my account permanently. And as easy as that my dogs profile was gone forever. My dog has never forgiven me…
