Pros and Cons of Web 2

The Pros and Cons of Facebook!
I use Facebook quite regularly so I am very familiar with this particular aspect of web 2.
I think Facebook is a good idea because it makes it so easy to keep in touch with friends and family that maybe you otherwise wouldn't. 
Some things that I consider to be pros of Facebook are;

  • Sharing information with family/friends
  • The ability to post photos and pictures
  • The privacy settings allow you to protect your account from people seeing it
  • You can customise your page as much or as little as you like
  • You can share as much information as you want and also keep information for just your friends to see 
Some things that I consider to be cons of Facebook are;
  • People hacking accounts - You could be friends someone who is not who they say they are
  • I think people are too open with what they post
  • The information that's put on there can be taken by anyone with access to your page
  • Cyber-bulling
  • The advertisements that come up aren't always suitable for all users
  • The number of updates that there are means that if you don't keep up with these updates your security settings aren't up to date either
  • The amount of notifications you receive can be annoying and sometimes are not of any interest to you
