To quote the Aussie artist Vanessa Amorossi
"Things get cut and blocked out
But better things that really matter that get left out
Oh such an addiction running through my head
Always got to find myself some new best friends
I’m giving you my name just write it down
Or we can take a pretty picture of me now
I think you’d be surprised at all my friends
And all the videos of me cause I like to dance
Rumours written on your page
Facebook pictures that you hate
Misconception of your words
Good is bad haven’t you heard
It’s just gossip
Ye ye ye ye
It’s just gossip"
I love this song and wonder if kids actually listen to the message when they sing along.
I truly see twitter as a waste of space and a danger for kids.
I also see the danger in facebook...
That said used correctly these can be valuable tools as well. I keep all my business dealings on facebook, and have found fewer and fewer people are updating business websites and do more of their communicating on facebook. It is quick and easy to see what your 'friends' are doing.
I also found a use for it with the year 12's who had finished their year at school but were still revising for the HSC and not checking their school email. I simply created a revision page and sent them links. They were able to visit and complete daily activites, ask questions and share ideas...
