\n
\nPersonally, Twitter is like a briefer and more interesting\/entertaining form of a blog. Also so much easier on the go for updates\/tweets from news sites, etc.
\n
\nIt has become addictive...just like facebook did. At first, I thought twitter was very self-absorbed...tweeting about yourself day in and day out? Obviously I've learnt how useful it can be and use it regularly.

\nBut what I found interesting is that I am studying Public Relations and this semester part of our assessment was to write two twitter status updates as well as one media release.
\n
\nI find it really weird but also interesting to learn that how to write useful twitter updates for companies is now a form of assessment.

\nLike Abi, I was attracted to Twitter because of the many celebrities that use it. I think it's fascinating that the celebrities themselves utilise it so much just to update everyone on such boring activities yet we're so fixed on it.

\nI also think it's pretty amazing how the Twitter trending topics is another way of being informed of news globally.

\n
\nFirstly how Amanda said that you can find out information directly from Twitter before it even hits the news. I have found this to be the case many times with Ninemsn in regards to the disastrous relationship of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. For example Heidi posted on her Twitter that she had dreamt she was sleeping with out her nose reinforcement tape (as some of you may be aware he plastic surgery is taking its toll on her nose). The next day Ninemsn had done a whole story on how Heidi was having bad luck with her surgery.

\nSecondly with what Josiah said about corporate issues, I have a friend who was annoyed at delays from a flight company and posted in on Twitter. Within a few hours the flight company had written on my friends page apologising and asking for them to clear the air.

\n
\nI think Twitter and other social media forms are giving people a better insight into certain celebrities lives. But I also think this is being turned around, as twitter and celebrities are creating everyday celebrities. Kanye West recently did this when he began on twitter and only followed one person.

\n

\nHey
\n
\nI agree with what you are saying, there are no real privacy settings that are enforced by the creators of particular websites. Anyone is able to fake their age to get onto any website they want.
\n
\nIn regards to bullying online, I think this happens far to often. Many celebrities talk about each other online in a discriminatory manner which is not setting any examples for younger users. A legislation is currently underway in Australia to help stop cyber bulling.
\n

For example, coming off a rough day of work there is nothing sweeter than venting online to your Facebook friends. However, users who are not savy with privacy settings or are silly enough to add their boss as a 'friend' online expose themselves to tortious liability.
\n
\nFor years now, if a journalist unfairly accuses or ridicules a person in a newspaper article they can be made liable for such statements. The same exists for TV, Radio and other forms of print media. So be careful - the same rules still apply on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.
\n
\nI think that many people still think that Facebook or Twitter are 'separate' from their real lives (i.e. compartmentalisation). This concept was recently analysed by Rosen (2010, p. 10)where she stated, \u201c\u2026privacy becomes more difficult and true compartmentalization nearly impossible; on the Internet, private misbehaviour becomes public exhibitionism.\u201d
\n
\nSo be warned - defamation DOES exist online and you can be prosecuted! Here are a couple of examples:

\nThe benefit to gain, however, is in tension with the legal interaction with such virtual mediums, as the owners of Second Life and World of Warcraft are yet to negotiate a comfortable arrangement with users who do attempt to set up companies around these websites.

\nFurthermore, where companies are conducting business within the virtual worlds, questions exists as to whether the normal laws of contracts and corporate law still apply.
