Overall, I have really enjoyed learning about social networking sites. My last key takeaways are below!
Dailybooth.com- Great site! I am definitely going to stay on this site after this practicum. I think its fun to look back on pictures (its like my own little picture diary). You also can meet people from all over the world and see what they're up to. I've made a lot of friends and enjoy the simple connections we have made. For example, if someone is having a good day, I like to comment and tell them about mine too. Or if I'm having a bad day, people have written little words of support or "happy quotes" to make me feel better. If im able to stick with the site, it will be interesting to look back 2-3 years down the line at my first practicum post for CA 346 ;) The picture on the left is the my "picture of the day" for today!
eHarmony- I think i've come to know everything about online dating. It is very different from dating in the real world, but I think its a great outlet for people that are maybe a little anti-social at first or don't have the time to go out and meet people. I also discovered that a lot of people interested in meeting people in other places than just a bar. I can definitely understand where these people are coming from. Many of them don't want to waste time (especially if they are in there 40s or 50s). Also, I noticed that its a great way to meet friends in the area if you just moved and don't know a lot of people. eHarmony is unlike other dating sites in the sense that most users who are on it, are really interested in gaining meaningful friendships or relationships (or both!). Although the site is pretty complex and takes a couple weeks to get acquainted with, I think it appeals to a lot of people and in some cases, actually works!
Gotryiton.com- This site is awesome, hands down. I really hope it becomes more popular because girls need to know about it. It is a great resource to get advice on outfits (in the fitting room at a store or even at home) when you don't have others around. Also, people give an unbiased opinion and it gives you suggestions from fashion experts. It's not really about meeting friends, but about gaining a close group of confidants that you can trust for fashion and clothing advice. Although it mostly deals with clothes, I can definitely see this site expanding to hair styles and maybe make-up suggestions.
