Question: Some people love Social Networking through technology (Facebook and Twitter) whilst others loathe it. Write reflectively about your experience with the use of a Social networking technology such as Facebook or Twitter. Answer: In this study, I select two different platforms of social media technology such as Facebook and Twitter. This two platform selected by me because majority of people I the world uses Facebook and Twitter and shows their activity in these two social media website rather than other such as Flickr, Foursquare, YouTube, etc. At first I analyzed the functions of Facebook and Twitter why they so popular. Twitter: According to my experience about Twitter, majority of people in the world use Twitter due to its fast and reliable service. Apart from that, all people including me use Twitter due to no etiquette (Murthy, 2010). Most of the people use Twitter because there is not required to follow someone or reply for someones blogs in terms of following them. However, from my experienced it has been said that I sometime felt pressured to post blogs or statements into status bar. Statements and blogs helps in I getting more follower in Twitter. This is the main reason of posting statements or blogs into status bar. However, it has been seen that if someone do not give statement or post he or she lost followers from their Twitter account. Due to this reason, I do not like Twitter. Facebook: Total $17.98 billion people use Facebook daily (Hong and Chiu, 2014). My experience about Facebook - Facebook is a free and most attractive commercial social media website that is allowing to share opinion, feelings, statements, blogs etc. Apart from that, through Facebook I can find out school and college friend along with colleague and make daily interaction with them. As a part of a business organisation, I used Facebook for business promotion. However, I use Facebook for entertainment such as playing game, chatting with others, watches videos, read important stories, etc. Moreover, I use Facebook messenger to communicate with other via mobile phone. The new version of Facebook messenger I install for online calling to my Facebook friends. However, the negative impact of Facebook that I faced addiction. I was very much addicted with Facebook as a result waste my valuable time using Facebook (Kintisch, 2014). Apart from that, fake profile and ID along with wide range of F acebook fan page violate my religion as well as personality. Due to high activities with Facebook, I face many conflicts. Due to much addiction with Facebook, my results consistently low. The situation is like that I am not able to get pass marking without cheating in examination. Reference List Hong, F. and Chiu, S.
