Response to Siobhan's post on Internet stalking


I agree with Siobhan, it can be risky putting personal information up on the internet on sites such as facebook and myspace, however, there are advantages to this.

Imagine a world without such things, many people would never have met each other, i have a number of friends who i originally began speaking to over facebook, who i then went on to meet face to face (in public places, naturally). We then hit it off and became good friends! It also provides an opportunity to keep in touch with others who we may have very little real contact with!

However, cyber stalking and bullying are always a problem, with every great thing there will come a problem, its as simple as that! The ability to follow people, on sites such as twitter, also makes stalking that little bit easier!
