Internet Communication

I was thinking of ways people use the internet to communicate. There are so many forms, personally choose Facebook and Gmail to keep in contact with the important people in my life.

Facebook is a great tool to let your friends and family know what is going on in your life. However, it can also become a cumbersome chore of constant updating to current events in your life. For instance, posting what you ate for breakfast in the morning, later in the day posting what you had for lunch, and following up with posting what you had for dinner. Another frustrating thing with Facebook, when you have to wade through pages of game updates from the various Facebook based games to find relevant information on your friends.

Gmail is a simple web-based email program. It is very efficient and easy to use. The major advantage is the ability to access your email account from any computer or phone that can connect to the internet. The major disadvantage comes with the spam mail that eventually finds its way into your account. I have had my Gmail account for over a year, in that time I have forwarded all my other email accounts for convenience.
