A friend wrote in her blog about whether Facebook is a show-off place.
I have to say that I have thought about this before too but about blogs.
Public media is a two-edged sword. You can get famous instantly because of it. You can get infamous instantly because of it too.
It is amazing what people post on the Facebook or on blogs; some bad enough to incriminate him/herself; some could cause a riot.
I began a blogger about 10 years ago.
I posted 1-2 blogs each week on a public domain called Hercafe belongged to Yam.com.
The comments I received for my blog prompted me to write.
Through blogs, I also made many friends and learned lots of different perspectives about life.
I started using Facebook since only people who have edu email accounts were allowed to obatin a Facebook account.
I used it because I wanted to be cool amongst my peers and my students.
Through Facebook, I was able to connect with my friends all over the whold from different time of my life.
To date, I am semi addicted to it.
I like to see what my friends are up to and I like to receive interesting and funny articles or photos.
Years of blogging and facebooking, I have experienced friendship gone sour or name-calling via posts or blogs.
Therefore, I try to refrain comments that are too personal or try to be neutral in many incidents.
My stance is, as long as you keep your limit, I will keep our friendship. If you step out of the boundary, I will stay away from you.
But showing off.....
Who is to define showing-off?
And why can't one show off one's happiness?
Your friends should be happy for your happiness, right?
But when is showing-off becoming annoyance?
Is there an etiquette to show off?
