In Class Essay 1

One of the major ways that I present my face to the world is through the social networking site Facebook. Nearly everybody about my age uses the site to relay personal information to there friends, peers or even strangers.

I use Facebook not for anything to serious, mainly just keeping in touch with friends. Two of the features of Facebook that I use often are the message and the wall post. Usually my wall postings are very informal and usually share a joke or an interesting link. The messages are sort of like email through Facebook which can be used to transfer more detailed information.

Pictures reveal a lot about a person. For me my pictures mainly tell people who I hang out with and what type of activities I participate in.

I guess the obvious way that people present their interests on Facebook is the personal information section. On my personal information you can find out that my favorite movies are Scent of a Woman and Stand by Me or that my favorite television show is Freeks and Geeks.

I guess that an outsider looking at my Facebook page would probably think that I am your average everyday dude that loves hockey and pizza.
