My new Facebook page

     This is my first time using Facebook. I’m little confused but also curious. Actually there is a similar website ‘RenRen‘, which means ‘Everyone’, in my hometown China. However, RenRen only has Chinese version but Facebook has more than 60 language versions and that is why people all around the world use it and why this website attracted me at the beginning.

I have just created a page and it shows me the third different way, besides Twitter and Blog, to share information with Ales 204 classmates. At first, I found there is too much personal information requiring to be completed. It looks like a business card, very professional design, which includes all parts of my life, study and work. But it gives me a chance to look back my life. In addition, this page is much useful for career searching in the future due to very detailed personal information. It helps others to understand me from every part of my life and here is a screen capture image of my Facebook page.

     In my view, Facebook is the combination of Twitter and Blog. Twitter can update plenty of information immediately and show what is happening now but the letters are limited. For Blog, it is used to write articles, which contain detailed content. However, Facebook achieves both. Up to date information associate with long and detailed articles, which make the Facebook more outstanding. Recently, I found a Facebook page ‘NutritonData’ and I obtained a great deal of useful nutrition-related information, which shows me an abundant nutrition world!

I also want to show you a Facebook page from my friend Minmin Gao. Take a look and find more interesting things. 

Hey, everyone

     My name is Feiyan Zhou and I come from China. I am a second year student in Nutrition and food Major and this is also my second year in Canada. For me, Canada is a very peaceful country. People here are very friendly and always smiling. I met so many different people here. They are pretty nice and help me a lot. I am so glad to be friends with them. Here is one of my best friends Minmin Gao.

     Few days ago, I started to use twitter. Although I heard about it before, the first time try surprised me. It shows me a fresh way to communicate with others, to share my feelings and to obtain the updated information immediately at anytime as long as I twittered it or followed the person or the organization that I interested. Obviously, this new communication tool will be more and more important to me, especially for my current study. Now I open a blog, which also a new try for me. The blog is different from twitter. From twitter, what I get is just few sentences and brief info; however, from the blog, besides the outlines, I can find very detailed information. For example, currently, I use Ales blog to find every lecture’s content, assignment and the newest news such as ‘SOPA’, which I was aware of on Wednesday’s blog. Except that, I also can write comments under the blog to share my opinions with the bloggers.

     These two communication tools are really amazing to me and I believe they will make my current study and future work more effective. I hope that I can learn more useful and original communication tools from this Ales course. Looking forward to every class~!
