Facebookage

Looking at peoples pages for an assignment is much different than just the normal facebookage. I noticed more about the small things that I wouldn't normally see. I gained insight as to what exactly is going down.

It really differs among different ages is the main part. Those who are younger, do quiz's and those kinds of clutter. (farmville) Those who are older tend to do more mature activities like posting a stumble or a YouTube video. It changes for ages as well as activities outside of facebook.

My sports buddies usually have Adrien Peterson or a snap shot of them playing their sport. They also put their status as the game from last night, who won and their take on it. My motor head buddies have pics of doing wheelies or flying through the air on a jet ski, making movies of doing spins on a bmx or flipping the wake on a wake board. Its comes down to what they want everyone to see and think.

Everyone documents their summer enjoyment, winter sports and college parties. It's usually good if its coming from your own camera but it can be a little embarrassing if you weren't looking or don't remember...

I find a lot of my college friends posting their status as what shows they are seeing soon. It is a good way for people to get that out and get people jealous. Its also common for ever other person who is going to "like" it. It's super common here because Denver has one of the best music scenes. "Capital of dubstep" as one DU student just set as their status.

Facebook is what we make of it, it's collectively put together by us, the users.

  1. I am definitely guilty of putting up pictures from travel and vacating. Also I put up pictures from sports I participated in and experiences related to that as well. I think that I used to do this stuff more, but now I put up pictures of experiences so my family members can see what I am doing out here at school. I also like to put up some pictures in order to share them with other people that participated with me in the experiences. Finally I think that I mainly use facebook because I volunteer with a student outreach ministry in which I hang out with a lot of high schoolers and they use it a lot.
