facebook.com (registration and cancellation)
Facebook can be defined as a GREAT WALL, or better yet: a great wall, where each creates its own post, insert your own picture, write your own thoughts, etc.. etc..
Some time ago they were widely used (for a similar purpose) newsgroups, now fallen into disuse, followed by the Forum (which is still extensively used by specific groups), then came the BLOG (popular, but not too much) and now social networks (such as MySpace and now Facebook in the first place).
Thus giving a rapid response to the title, registration is simple, virtually impossible to cancel, instead of you may decide to cancel your account AutoLock, but what was written will remain! The only way to erase your own greeting message, a tag or prorpio own photos when you can do is cancel it before deactivating the account. Once deactivated, however, do not worry: you have to re-enter username and password to unlock your user in AUTOMATIC.
Enrollment
To give a rough explanation at this point we can say that Facebook is signing up for instant:
1 - go on the website www.facebook.com (the site will be to understand our "language" and then there will be presented in Italian if we are in Italy and / or use pre-set programs for the Italian language)
2 - insert the requested information (name, email address, date of birth), being careful to check that they are all correct, or if you enter a name different from ours there is the possibility of a usage limit and / or not be found by our friends and relatives. Also if you enter the wrong email address then we could not verify the actual property, so the system does not allow us to control our own account.
3 - Once you have entered the data the system we "integrate" into the database in an instant.
After the initial registration we will ask for the most common information such as school attended, inclusion of his picture wizard and import existing email address book (one of your existing email account).
At this point you are ready to verify your email address in your e-mail and entering "clicking" on the link in one of the emails coming from Facebook.
If you did these steps precisely you are "OK" and you can safely use Facebook, making friend requests to all your contacts!
Cancellation
The steps are simple but certainly not as instant recording. It should go to:
- Accounts
- Account Settings
- Deactivate Account
At this point we are required to select the reason for which we are "close" the account on Facebook and we have to select the various options for system security and the closing of the "things" that we administered on Facebook.
All this will also cause blockages of the groups and the applications that we have created and managed with our account and, in cases where we are the only directors, the latter will become "orphans" and will no longer be manageable by anyone.
To reactivate our account will be sufficient to re-logging into the system ... then we say that is not a cancellation, but as Facebook calls itself a single account deactivation.
What is the WEB:
Newsgroups
Newsgroups are spaces in the network, hosted by server often public (meaning they can write to everyone without paying any fee or registration in a particular way). The low turnout in these groups, these days, is due to the difficulty of being able to retrieve messages (especially older ones), low or no moderation (which leads the group to become a hotbed of indiscriminate advertising), the inability to insert multimedia elements in an easy, direct and graphically edited.
Forum
The forum can be defined as a newsgroup privatized. The privatization of these newsgroups (not practical, because the newsgroups are always available as they were 10 years ago), leads users to register to write posts and often just to read them, thus creating a database of all users and limiting (if not preventing) the publication of items of SPAM. The forum also includes the "embellishments" aesthetic and practical new features that allow the publication of many media, links, images and sometimes videos or special-purpose components (such as Java applets or Flash). Having deprived the forum can arise very quickly, but at the same time can be terminated at any time.
BLOG
The blog is a far cry from the newsgroup, the blog is a website where a person, or more rarely a group of people, write messages to share with other people. The biggest drawback is its feature of blogs: it is not easy to search across all the blogs and if a person is not a member to feed the blog becomes almost impossible to follow him constantly, all the regions. Unlike the newsgroup the blog is even more difficult to detect in the network (since each individual person has a potentially his blog), but is aesthetically customized desire of the creator himself. The new blogging platforms also allow the creation and customization of a blog, even by users with no experience of web publishing.
My Space
MySpace is born as the first major social networking platform and has been its success (and later his defeat) the ease of customization of each page. In practice navigating within MySpace, you can see each page with its own style and its background, its colors and whatnot. Very nice for some. Absolutely to reject others.
Facebook, the website that revolutionized the web. It 'a great social networking that has as its basic principle: instant registration, ease of use, rapid connection between users and easy integration of the internal medium (such as the inclusion of photos and video) and external (links publishing, integration with photo and outdoor movies, auto import rss feed). Based system users (possibly real) that allows easy identification of network users.
We make the comparison with the previous era: GUY you to contact the telephone directory paper, and you went looking for AND LAST NAME GUY, he lifted the phone and call. Now go on Facebook (our new listing) GUY entered in the search box and type a guy.
So far, we say that is how the system of e-mail, so it adds nothing more than a cataloging generated by users themselves (in practice, each user has access to a global database of all the technical contact of each member, without having to transcribe a single address by hand).
The feature that gave that extra touch to this system is just a chance to see the fly all that you did recently. So his friends, his photos, his statements, his links, etc etc..
The only thing that has the look and feel is customizable. What is still quite nice and quite intuitive. This is perhaps the most significant factor that distinguishes it from its predecessor (My Space), along with the fact that attempts to use the data of REAL people.
Linked In
A similar but doubles Facebook dedicated to professional relationships. This points the finger at social networking business aspect: it is a facebook for professionals. Allows you to see the friendships of people (like Facebook), but emphasizes the role a person plays in society (for example "administrator XXXX"). Currently Italy has achieved so popular mainly because it is in English only.
Google Wave
Google also wants to participate in the race for social networking and it also has tried for years, acquiring Orkut was wrong his methods. In the first step he took this great system "Orkut" that worked invitation only, to avoid spam and to provide a "safety" was accepted to the network only those who already knew someone was inside. Secondly, he tried to make this new Google Wave, but for the fact that it is still in beta, and because it requires the user to the Google Wave uses the other Google services ... for now this is a little social networking ' ... closed just "social".
