Oh, 4chan... It brings back memories of me sitting by my one of my best friends with an incredibly puzzled look on my face while she looked through 4chan. Chris Poole seems like a cool dude, for one thing. I think 4chan is cool, if you're into it. Anonymity is so seldom found in todays internet culture that I think Anonymous, the group, is fascinating. Though they are capable of bad (and have probably done it many times), the stories of good things are just too cool to ignore. 4chan may be mostly porn and "bumps" and silliness, but it's out there for those who want to use it, and obviously, people want to use it.
Both sides had excellent points and argued passionately in this battle of wits, statistics, and popularity.
I am on the pro-Facebook side, personally. Yes, it can be a great distraction, but it is fun and nice. The privacy policy is a bit daunting, but I don't have things on Facebook that I don't want to share. I don't care if advertisements are tailored to fit my interests. I prefer it, especially when they get the ads SO WRONG. I think it's funny. I'll see ads for bands that I like that have shows nearby, and then one for "Modest Prom Dresses." 1. I am not modest, 2. I don't wear dresses, 3... Why on earth did you think that I'd be interested in this?
