Facebook Project

As I was looking through a friend's profile on Facebook, I easily found many different things about her. As I was looking through 'Kaylee's' profile, the first thing I noticed was that the page was mainly intended for friends. The purpose of her profile was to keep in touch with her friends, put up many different pictures, and find out about herself. I could tell she wanted to find things out about herself because she had many applications that were things such as: "find out which personality you have" and "Which celebrity do you look most like?"
Kaylee's profile had many things that had to do with her boyfriend, such as pictures and status about him. This is one way that was easy to see that she was just looking for friendships and to keep in touch with friends as she went to college and moved away from home. Another way that was easy to know that she liked to stay in touch with her friends, is that in her profile she had many quotes. The quotes were not inspirational quotes though, they were usually a conversation between her and her friends. Kaylee seems like the type of person that tries to be funny and wants everyone to like her.
Kaylee seems to have a lot of friends on her profile, and talks to many different people on her wall. One thing that Kaylee lacks though is her spelling. She has a lot of misspelled words on her profile and I'm not sure if that is because she don't know they are wrong, or because she just doesn't care. She also has a lot of pictures tagged to her, along with tagging herself in a lot of her own pictures that she puts up. Many of the pictures that she puts up involve her boyfriend, or a certain dog. She talks about her boyfriend and dog the most in her profile so it is quite obvious who she cares the most about. From her profile you can also see that as she cares some, she often doesn't care what people think about her. From the quotes mentioned earlier, she has a little attitude in them that shoes she does what she wants. She also uses bad language sometimes and talks about dirty things in her profile. So as one can tell, there are many things that can be figured out just from one's Facebook profile. So if you don't want everyone to know something about you, it may be a good idea to not put it on the Internet that is easy to access.
