Facebook profile analysis

I decided to look at three different types of people on my friends list for the Facebook assignment. The first one was a very conservative person. They rarely use Facebook, currently don't have a profile picture and often communicates through personal messages rather than wall posts. This person I know well, and know them to be conservative. Since this person will be a graduating senior public image is also very important to them as they try to keep a low online profile.

The second person I looked at was an over user of Facebook. This person I don't know her that well but she doesn't use too many apps but loves to over indulge in the rest that Facebook has to offer. Status updates come by the many a day. She also has no boundaries on what topics are discussed and some of the pictures taken could be taken the wrong way.

The third profile I took a look at was my own. Recently I have become a more more passive user of Facebook. I use to play the family feud app game this summer but have found myself doing more progressive stuff. The spike of my use of Facebook when I was abroad where I would have friends that would upload many pictures daily of the abroad trip. Also I used Facebook when abroad to keep into contact with my friends more that were in the United Sates since I didn't have an American phone number. Recently I haven't been posting as much unless I find a good article. As far as privacy settings go I have restricted the amount of information people can find on myself, unless they are on my friends list.
