Dr. Hilker or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Social Networks
Posted on: December 7, 2007 by Syzlak
Today Hilker studied the differences between blogs and social networks. I like his graph, and I think it’s pretty accurate. It is odd to think that 7 years ago, my friend Brian had a LiveJournal account. I thought he was crazy, using the web as a journal and sharing with people! Now, blogs are, as Hilker said, ’soapboxes’ or somewhat corporate propaganda; whereas Facebook and MySpace are hardly web journals and more accurately web souls where dignity slowly dies…and to think, I used to fight for social conscientiousness and fight against being a cog. As more of us join MySpace and Facebook (which I don’t actually oppose) are we not mitigating our privacy, individuality and existence?
