Firstly, the entire article was about the different communication style between the three social networks, each has different number of reader. For Blog is not intended to have one-to-many communication whereas is basically for public knowing. On the other hand, Facebook is more for private, one-to-not-many basis. These are the least that Scott Karp found the difference between those.
However each has its own pitfalls. For instant, blogs sometime maybe too controversial whereby all kinds of topic were talked about even from politicians to celebrity gossips. This is because many people’s perception of blogs is freedom of speech whereby they are allowed to post and voice their own opinion without being stopped (BBC, 2006). In addition blogs has the function of visual, imagery and sound visuals. According to Walsh (2006) stated that visual, imagery and sound visuals are keys to giving audiences opportunity to interact with others and as well as giving more choices.
On the other hand Facebook is much more private compared to Blog. This is because that Facebook are normally invited of friends and family, someone who one may know in order to view the profile. According to Zittrain (2009) Facebook may be dangerous to many ‘private users’ in Facebook. This is because that the world of internet may expose all sorts of personal details such as account number or home address. On top of that, Facebook allows anybody which the computer feels that the person is connected with others is related. For example A knows B, but might not know B’s friend C, and simply asked A to invite C as friend.
The latest issue about Twitter is it allows burglar to enter the user’s home. Base on the article Hedengren (2009) the Israel Hyman who twittered the vacation for about a week got his house burglarized. Without knowing some people might have intention in ‘’Following’’ you in order for them to know your latest activity, therefore gives the burglar time to prepare and work on their magic to rob the house when you are on vacation.
