Essay 3

The social-networking services I use are Myspace, Facebook and Twitter. On average the time I spend on Myspace and Facebook would be 30 hours weekly. I might spend 20 hours on Twitter weekly. The value I put on the time I spend using these sites is staying connected to family and friends. It is important to me to stay in the loop on what goes on in the lives of my close friends and family members. I was able to find family I haven't seen in years on Myspace. I have kept in contact with friends I've had throughout elementary, middle and high school. If I'd have to pay a fee to keep my accounts I would. Annually would be nice as appose to paying monthly. The highest amount I would pay would be 2o dollars annually.
Since I've had Myspace for so long and kept in contact with so many people, it is something I want to keep for a very long time, even if I have to pay for it. I got a Facebook when I first started college to check it out and ended up liking it a lot since its similar to Myspace. I have more of a mature crowd of friends, like my friends moms and adults on Facebook, then my friends on Myspace so its good to have the two different sites. I can be more open on my Myspace, for example saying what I did this weekend or posting up certain pictures rather than on Facebook because I know I don't have my friends parents reading and seeing everything I post. I am new to twitter and getting a feel for how it works. I do not really like it because I do not care about what people are doing that very second. Even though I'm not crazy about it, its another free account to have. Overall, my social-networking services have been in my life for quite some time and I've become attached to them. Putting a price on them would not stop me from using them. I love my Myspace and Facebook to much!
