This post is specially written for U know who
You asked, what's the difference between Facebook, Twitter, MSN & Blog.
I can tell you, all these social networks are Different from each other, in the sense of their features, openness to public and functions.
Facebook
-> Very open to public, once u've updated ur status, photos, videos, change ur profile or photos tagged by friends, it'll notify the person u added as friends on their homepage.
** But, that's limited to person u added ONLY. If u dun add that person, he won't know whether about ur updates AT ALL ! This can be done by setting the privacy level in ur facebook account.
-> Good thing is you can chat with ur friends in facebook if both of u r surfing facebook. So even that person doesn't on his/her msn, u can still chat with him/her in facebook.
** But, you can also set ur facebook to "OFFLINE", if you find the chat box is irritating. Ur added friends cannot send u any msg if you appear to be offline.
- > And you can stalk us as well. A nicer way to describe this is u can know what's happening around us, like where we go, what do we complains, what problems we're facing currently once we update our status.
** This can be done by just adding us ONLY ! U dun have to update ur facebook, just see our updates and give comments if u want.
Well overall there r too many features to be listed out. What I can say for facebook is, if you think u need more privacy, then u choose to add people whom u noe n trust only. U can either set ur facebook privacy level high or low, it's up to u, dun worry about ur identity being exposed.
Twitter
I just started playing this last 2 months. Compared with facebook, Twitter only involved words n perhaps photos.
In facebook, we call "add friends", in Twitter we called "Follow", meaning to say, when u "Follow" someone, u r actually adding that person as friends. N u can receive updates from persons u followed. But if that person doesn't follow u, then he/she wont get any updates from u even though u update ur Twitter everyday !
- > Just like facebook, u can set ur privacy level for people to follow u. If u dun set any privacy, then people can just follow ur tweets (updates) by just clicking on "Follow" on ur page. In contrast, if u set ur privacy level high, then if people wants to add u, it needs ur approval. If u dun approve then he won't see ur tweets.
- > Twitter is all about updating status, means, u type what u want to type with limited of 150 characters for each update. No photos & videos involved, unless u want to put it as ur display picture la.
- > Twitter is cool, y? Cuz u can noe bout our politicians updates, news update, even health tips, jokes by just following them ! Politicians seldom update their status in facebook, but in Twitter, because Twitter has more privacy bah I guess?
- > U can post at ur friends' wall (if both of u following each other) when u feel like saying something to him/her. Best part is, the post can be seen to ppl added by u n ur friends. So if u din add another person, but ur friend added that person, that person can't see ur post at ur friends' wall.
** But u hav to be careful in this. That person can't see if u mention ur friends' name at the beginning.
For example, if u want to send tweets to me(post at my wall): @leeeuyang (followed by ur msg). Then that person not added by me but added by u won't see this, or added by u but not added by me.
But, if u put ur msg at the beginning and followed by my name, for example:
(ur msg) @leeeuyang
Then the person u've followed can see ur msg to me, but my friends(followed by me but not u) won't see this.
I think u r confused adi by all this. Haha.
To simplify, Twitter only allowed ppl to update status la.
If u dun add that person, that person won't see ur status update.
U can choose whether to accept ppl to follow u or not by adjusting the privacy level.
If u want send msg to me, then only those ppl added by me n u can see that msg. Others cant see.
But be careful that u must mention my name first then followed by ur msg.
Twitter has more privacy la for sure ! U can create a fake name also, not necessary ur real name, so nobody will noe ur identity.
MSN is about online conversation, I think u noe la.
BLOG is about expressing ur thoughts and feelings. U can set the privacy level in ur blog to be accessed by google, or to only people u invited by u to read ur blogs.
Actually rite, the setting can be adjusted, dun worry about ur privacy being invaded, cuz firstly, nobody would mind also, seeing ur updates, ur photos as if they will care so much (unless ur words r harsh n is related to them, then is different case la). The most people will just crap with you only !
Secondly is if u're so afraid, then just adjust the privacy level lor.
I update my twitter more often than Facebook. Haha, cuz my Twitter friends r few compared to Facebook, so I feel more secure in Twitter.
N Twitter is one of the sources for me to get up-to-date news from the stars, the edge Malaysia, The Economist and interesting facts by OMG facts, jokes from Lord_Stewin by just following them in Twitter only !
These social networks r created to bond all of us who are staying far frm each other together n also always stay contact with each other. If u wan to think it's harmful, then it is lo, but of cuz la, b4 u post something think twice first la.
