Twitter

This article is about how Twitter is breaking big news such as the Whitney Houston Story, and how it is revolutionizing news as we See it today. Fro example, when Whitney died twitter was the first place to have confirmed it, and have reported it.The source: The niece of Houston's hairstylist, who also knew the circumstances of the singer's death hours prior to news outlets. A second Twitter user with the handle @chilemasgrande reported the story almost thirty minutes before the Associated Press.There's reason to believe that Twitter and Facebook users in their new roles as the distributors of news on the web are becoming cautious about sharing news with their friends without personally verifying it. Also, this is the same thing that happened with Paternos situation to. Overall, the social arise of twitter is changing the way we find information today through different sources.

Online Safety Wrap-Up

What I think the most important aspects of Online Safety is that overall use COMMON SENSE. You should never post innappropriate pictures of yourself, or do anything wrong on the internet, because it will come back and get you sometime.
Online Safety is using proper netiquette while online while using common sense, Som Rules are:
I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents’ permission.*

2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.

3. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring a parent along.

Next, They should look for bad posts, and just to see if that site is appropriate. Should always be safe and use common sense on the internet.
Some dangers of using the internet, is that there are creepy people on the internet, also, there is a lot of dangerous material on the internet, so be careful etc. You should practice proper netiquette when on the internet because it is the proper way to say things and be curtious to other people. People, could always steal your social security and then get a credit card on that, and could destroy your credit.

You Can't Take It Back

Someone had made a website about the girls at school, and some guys went on a website and pretended to rape them. And this boy commented on it, and he went to school the next day, and everyone was laughing about that except the girls who were on it. His sister was actually on it and when he got home his sister didn't talk to him at all. He wished he had never done that, and if he could take it back he would. Now he might have to move to another school, because of something he did that he thought was funny. So overall, use COMMON SENSE, and be safe in the Internet.

Bo I have not put much personal information on the Internet, because it is not good, and people can find you. Overall, it is just not good to put information on the internet.

The most important thing to remember when using the internet, is be safe, and use common sense.
