Comment on Karin Andersson
I also join the Facebook and I am also a loyal Wikipedia user, like Karin. But I do not update my profile on the Facebook daily. Before I join the Facebook, I use MSN and QQ all the time. After I came to Sweden, I started to run my Windows Live Spaces, so I always update this blog directly and it can automatically notice my MSN friends to read. That is very convenient for me. After the Facebook, there are more and more similar social websites and communities. I have received at least 5 invitations to join different social networks, and I feel troubled. So I choose Windows Live Spaces as my main blog, and I do not want to write other blogs. But I share my photos in different social networks with different friends. In China, there is a social website named “Xiaonei”, which is similar to Facebook. When I register in Xiaonei, I find many old friends and classmates through it and that gives me a big surprise. According to the blog, I can know what my friends do recently and share my own experiences with them. Unlike the MSN, blog is not based on the instant communication, and it can provide enough time and space to share different experiences and opinions. I enjoy the time of reading my friends’ blogs.
Comment on Gao Jie
Gao Jie’s habits of using social media are similar to my own experiences. I always use the social media to keep in touch with my family and friends. With the Internet, I can chat with them through video and audio media. Before I came to Sweden, I was used to communicating with them by telephone or face-to-face. Now the physical distance makes us choose the social media based on the Internet to communicate with each other. It is cheaper and easier than before. And I also agree with Gao Jie’s opinion of the differences between on-line communication and face-to-face communication. Now I spend less time in keeping in touch with my friends who are still in China, because I find that on-line communication is not as kindly as face-to-face communication. When I face to the computer to phone my friends or chat with them, it is easy for me to distract my attention to other things, especially during the video conversation, and I can do anything else with my computer. When I go back to China, I meet my friends face-to-face and I find that we have more topics to discuss. The social media is still an interactive medium between human being and machine. Comparing the on-line communication through social media with face-to-face communication, I think the social media can help me to solve the problem of physical distance and it should be integrated with face-to-face communication in order to consolidate the friendship.
