Here are some of the weblog addresses of other class members that I follow and have added to my webroll:
Community Channel – Sorry:
I chose this clip because, shows how the family unit can be or is affected by social networking (a common NCT) in a humorous way.
Google Analytics is the site/application that I have chosen as my “application used to analyse aspects of the web more effectively” as it is the most authoritative and reliable source for help with anything Google as it’s made by the same people. www.google.com/analytics
REFERENCE:

Facebook: the land of opportunity. The opportunity to see what people really think about you. Facebook is the place where hearts are broken, friendships implode, fights are started and self esteem crumbles into ash. It seems that along with the extra 7 million users the social networking site has gained, it has also incurred an influx of inevitable problems. So why do we keep logging on?
To many, Facebook acts as a safety wall in which they can hide behind whilst throwing insult-ridden grenades at the “enemy;” someone they will treat like a best friend the next time they see them in the non-virtual world. Many people would say that an insult is an insult no matter how it’s said. This little piece of philosophy is not apparent in the world of Facebook. The upmost dire abuse can be magically counteracted by the simple use of a sideways smiley face or the appearance of the word LOL (laugh out loud for those not in the know). Try attempting that in real life.
The amount of horror stories involving Facebook is endless. People getting fired after badmouthing their job and forgetting that they have added their boss as a friend and teenagers getting expelled for bullying other students and teachers online. Gone are the days of discretion, now everyone’s dirty laundry is posted publically, ready for comments and criticism. Imagine having a good old domestic when suddenly a person you only talk to once in a blue moon walks in and begins to commentate. The official Facebook home page announces “Welcome to Facebook” perhaps it should read “Welcome to the Slaughter House”, LOL.
