My first major communication committment began when I was about nine. I emailed family overseas and kept in contact with friends who also had email addresses. This evolved into MSN messenger and many more people got email addresses so they could instant message each other. MSN continued to grow and added new feautures such as Video Chat and Voice Chat which as a result became more interactive, it was more than just a few words flying across the internet to each other.
Over a few years I became a member of Myspace.com and so did all of my friends. Here we were able to make our own profiles, add music and photos, comment each other publicly, talk to complete strangers and basically have your own life on a website. Myspace has/had the same concept that Facebook.com now has. I find websites such as Myspace, Facebook, Tumblr and even Blogspot great ways to communicate with others but not such a great place to post private and personal things.
I think there is almost a breach of privacy when it comes to social networking sites. Although, I guess it does depend on the information to put about yourselves on these websites. I try to refrain from posting my deepest darkest secrets because I know it can get into the wrong hands... and no one wants that.
