Social Networking

I went on facebook and was able to look at some random USC guy’s profile, we’ll call him Patrick.  Just from my first quick look at his profile I would assume that he seems like a respectable and responsible guy who is in a serious relationship with a USC girl.  I also have to assume that he is involved in a lot of different things from all of the events his profile says he plans to attend.  As far as the level of personal information he gives, he does give his full name and school.  His birth-date and school e-mail address is on there as well, but that is about it so I would say that is not giving out too much information.  Patrick lists some of his activities as well as several quotes in his information, but he does not have music or movie favorites or anything like that on his profile. From the quotes I would have to say that Patrick is a passionate and driven person.  This makes me think respectfully of him, but that is about all I get out of this information.  I think his reasoning for having a facebook is probably just to keep in touch with people he already knows.  I think this because this is why I have a facebook and he’s a south carolina student who is greek and just seems like the type of guy I would be friends with.  Therefore I can see us having a facebook for similar reasons.  I do not think it is to make friends because from all of his activities I’m sure he already knows plenty of people.  I also highly doubt it is to help him get a career because like so many others, he has some pictures on his facebook that potential employers probably would not be thrilled with.  All in all, to me he seems like a pretty together guy who I would probably like if I knew him.
