A few years ago around 2003, I was introduced by a friend that there is an interesting social networking site that is myspace, and I finally tried to create a site account, it appeared that plays myspace is exciting, we are able to acquaintances and new friends, meet with friends old as well as share and discuss about our hobby or building up the community. With increasingly sophisticated technology myspace site can also be opened through the phone, from there myspace increasingly easy to use and enthused many young people
At the same time there is also a social networking site called My Space, the site is usually used by young people who want to appreciate the work of the music. Not a few young bands that are successful because the song posted to the site My Space. Besides music, My Space can also make these communities the same people, such as hobbies reading, watching movies, sports and others.
In the year 2004 has launched a social networking site called Facebook, which was founded by a student from Harvard University, Mark Zuckerberg. Social networking sites more attractive to young people, initially did little demand, but over time the site was getting buming and excited, not just the young who have a facebook account, young children, even parents also have a facebook account. Many who use this site as a commercial enterprise, promote their work, not even slightly successful because selling via facebook.
Not long after facebook, social networking sites emerged again called Twitter, which was formed in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter is a microblogging social networking sites, allowing users to send and read messages are called tweets. Tweets can be seen outside, but the sender can restrict delivery of messages to their friends list only. There are sites similar to Yahoo Koprol twitter ie, a social network based on the location designated for the cities in Indonesia. Koprol tell the location of fellow users Koprol and connecting fellow users who are in the same place. This social networking location-based method. Here, mobile users can be like the Global Positioning System (GPS) without a GPS application from the phone itself. Koprol provides a number of options where users can check in at that location. Once logged in, here the user can see who the other members who were in the same location.
Another social networking site, microblogging service Plurk is free that can be used in a user or users to send updates (status updates) via a web interface, instant messages, or other means, with a maximum length 140 characters.
but for now the site more widely used in social networking sites are Facebook and Twitter because it is more easily accessible by the user.
All have an impact or lack
A good beginning would have the deficiency in the end. as well as social networking sites.
social networking sites such as I have mentioned above, is certainly very easy for us to communicate openly and without limitation, in fact we communicate with the opening of it is made we must be careful, precisely because of its simplicity is a lot of problems. for example, a student who criticized school on facebook wall, he eventually sued by the school reported to the authorities on the case of defamation and expelled from school. It also adapaun identity theft by those who are not responsible and is used for things that are not appropriate, such as criminal acts.
Most who have accounts social networking sites, usually an addiction, always wanted to open the site only to see the comments on your blog that has been entered. In the end will not forget the time and ignore the surrounding environment (not sensitive to the environment) because he was busy playing the social network sites.
Even when I'm browsing, I found many criminal cases involving social networks, including:
- In Sidoarjo, there were two teenage girls who met with the youth they know through Facebook, an appointment to meet outside the city for several days and then lose virginity by these youths.
- A girl in Grobogan, Central Java virtual who make a pact with his friends in Jambi that was fictitious and culminate in the rape and murder of the girl.
- A husband killed his wife because she displays the status of 'single' on his Facebook page.
