Summary of Social Network Sites

воскресенье, июня 01, 2008

 

It is often sarcastically portrayed in JoT comics that social networking sites might somehow promote health deficiency (instead of the opposite). Somehow these sites are attempting to creep into one's life, virtual or cyber life to be exact. Various sites are designed so well and so minimal that almost everybody can easily subscribe in no time.


The formula of getting users to involve in their sites which are friendly-designed and well-equipped with themes and widgets results in Multiple/Dissociative Personality Disorder. Side effects of this is time wasted unnecessarily on updating each and every networking sites subscribed.

Symptoms of MPD can be categorized into two groups : psychological behaviour, physical illness. Examples of these are :
  • multiple mannerisms, attitudes and beliefs which are dissimilar to each other
  • headaches and other body pains
  • distortion or loss of subjective time
  • depersonalization
  • amnesia
  • depression                                                                      (source : Wikipedia)

These can be diagnosed in a basic manner by viewing pages at various networking sites of anybody and analyse the differences between them. If they are of significance, then he or she may have MPD.

To cure such disorder, it is often cited that "reconnection" of the multiple personalities by psychotherapy (or behavioural therapy) and medication. Easily ignore other personalities and focus and respond only to single personality to help the person to establish a consistent one.

Therefore, if it happens to experience such networking sites, do visit one of these sites at a regular basis:
  • Hi5 : personal journal with interaction between friends
  • MSN Spaces : older posts
  • Blogspot : personal perspective and mumble-jumble
  • Tumblr : post of things stumbled upon on the net (newly added)
Happy treatment!
