The pros and cons of social networking

It is a fact that 74% of us internet users own a social networking account. When I first started using social networking sites, it was Bebo, MySpace and Youtube that dominated the scene. Now the tables have turned, the more popular and modern forms of social networking are Facebook and Twitter taking the internet by storm. Facebook was said to have 1.32 billion active users in June and Twitter 236 million.

Call me Caitlyn: Why I think Bruce Jenner is inspirational

When logging on to social media sites last night I saw that 80% of my timeline was stories, tweets and posts about Bruce Jenner's sex change.

Photos such as the ones bellow were publicised online yesterday, presenting Bruce's new appearance and lifestyle as Caitlyn. Many made comments on this story, tweeting various opinions causing it to attract a lot of media attention.
I personally respect Caitlyn for her decision to openly announce her new lifestyle and see her as both iconic and a role model for all people. No one should live their life unhappy in their body, you need to be who you are and if you feel most comfortable with a different appearance than you should not think twice about making that change.
