facebook friends.

College Friend:

The first profile I looked at was of one of my close friends who attends CU. She has 704 friends, I can't imagine that she actually knows them all - some of these must just people who have gone to the same school or something. She has put time into writing up her information. Her schools and jobs are listed. She has filled in favorite books, music, activities, etc and has 85 likes. She has several photo albums and tends to choose profile pictures of herself with friends partying. My friend doesn't use any of the game/quiz applications. She mostly uses facebook to talk to friends and updates her status about once a week (sometimes saying what she's up to or music lyrics). Her recent activity also shows that she uses facebook events - mostly school events. Her uses facebook in the ways that I would expect her to, she's very social and keeps in touch with friends through facebook.

Spanish Teacher:

The next profile belonged to a teacher I had in high school. He is in his thirties, married, with four kids. He doesn't seem to log on very often. His only recent post was an article on the tennis team that he coaches. He doesn't have many friends. Mostly prior students from what I can tell. I was kind of surprised to see that he was on top of filling out his information - activities, education, work. Most of profile pictures are of him and his family - he does have one of the kid-as-self photos. He also an additional album of more pictures of his kids. His profile is what I would expect from a man of his age - he is too busy teaching, coaching and being dad to be spending much time on facebook.

Blonde:

The final profile belonged to a girl who attended the same high school as me. Her profile is everything I find annoying about facebook (except the use of farmville). She has many self-taken photos. There are also some "modeling" photos. She frequently posts multiply times a day, often from her phone. I could infer that she's currently going through a break-up. There are many posts that make it pathetically obvious - "I've said times before, I think I'm over you but I'm really not sure" and "You don't hurt me no more." She has lots of activity - posting on other profile's and comments from others on her profile. She has filled in her activities and interests but hasn't put anything education or work related. I don't really know the girl but from her profile I could tell she's into her self.
