Blog Assignment #6

In the third paragraph of the article “Publication of Your Personal Profile”, the author uses a quotation from Hansen’s book. In this paragraph, the author mainly wants to tell the readers that the so called0”restricted profile” is not really restricted. Users of My Space and Facebook, usually have strangers in their friends list, so that others who want to get access to their private profiles may still easily via these “stranger friends”. The quotation directly explains why the users allow strangers to be in their friends list where it technically should only involves people they know well.
In the second paragraph of the essay, there are a lot of statistics information which the author makes paraphrases based on the books of Boyd and Ellison’s, Hansen’s, and Clemmitt’s . In the second paragraph, it tells us when Facebook and My Space were launched, how popular the 2 social networking websites are, how fast they are spreading among the adolescents, and the negative performances on the websites of those young users. In order to makes her paper more credible and reliable, she uses statistics from the 3 books. And they clearly show when the 2 websites were launched, the fast speed they are spreading.
These resources makes the paper more credible and trustworthy.
