What do hundreds of thousands—even millions—of people check daily? Maybe even several times a day? Their blood sugar? Their bank account? Their attitude? No! They log on to the Internet and check their social network site! Whether it be on Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, hi5, Cyworld, Bebo or any number of other sites, experiencing a part of life through a social network site is a daily routine for millions.
Social network sites have quickly become one of the primary ways young
people communicate with each other. Through our personal pages on these
sites we share our current mood or our latest digital pictures. We use
the sites to exchange thoughts, jokes, blogs, songs and videos.
We let the world know who we are through our personal online profile. We proclaim to the Internet world what we like and dislike, what makes us happy or sad and certainly what makes us unique. These sites can be a great way to communicate with our best friends, reconnect with long lost friends and even meet new people.
For all the enjoyment that can come through these sites, are there also cautions that vertical thinkers should take note of so that their social network site experience is positive? When we set up or edit our profile, what should be foremost on a vertical thinker's mind? Following are several questions we recommend you ask as you explore the world through social network sites.
Many people are inherently selfish and for the most part live just for themselves. Their profiles reflect this focus. Vertical thinkers understand that while their profiles tell the world about themselves, there is a more important focus.
