A good article for people doing their papers on Facebook ruining relationships.

Facebook Fight results in Murder


This article is about yet another Facebook fight that ended in murder.Is is very sad how these have gotten more common over the years. This situation was over $20. Two girls were fighting over a 20 dollar loan on Facebook and 24 hours later one of them was dead. Maybe is people took the fights on Facebook more seriously, then this could have been reported and no one would have gotten hurt.

Possible Argumentative essay Topic: Should your future employers look at your Facebook when in the process of hiring you?

Future Employers Aware of Facebook

This article brings up the topic of future employers using the internet to see if a persons resume matches up with who they really are. The employers enter your name into google and usually what comes up is facebook. if a persons facebook is public, then the employer can see the persons profile and compare what they find to information on the persons resume. And in the process they have access to the future employees private life. the article says that "anything negative found on a persons social networking site can negatively impact weather a person gets a job". The article suggest that students make a "professional facebook" to promote a good image.

I find it interesting how there is only one official application for Facebook while there are so many more for other social networking sites like twitter. Why is this?

The Social Network Movie Review

Rolling Stone Movie Review





It is surprising to me how positive this review is compared to others I was reading by Rolling Stone. It seems like it is hard to get 4 stars from this website, however the social network did.

Visual Rhetoric

I FOUND THIS ON TIME'S CARTOON OF THE WEEK. IT IS BY CAM / OTTAWA CITIZEN / CAGLE CARTOONS. The clear message is how easy it is in the US to get ahold of guns. the cartoon implies that all one needs is proof of age, even if the do look slightly deranged. While the intended audience is the general public it is a political cartoon so i seems to be aimed at those political figures in charge of constructing policies and regulations on gun control. 








PS; THE INTERNET WAS WAY MORE FUN BEFORE IT BECAME HOMEWORK.....
