Title: FriendPage
Category: Social Media
Description: Comment on what you learned from the FriendPage activity.
In class, we created "walls" based on profiles of real or imaginary people.  As we wrote on these "walls", we were only able to see the previous person's comment, which was an answer to a question.  Each person responded with a new question.  After the "walls" were filled, the students walked around the classroom and read several different "walls".  Students were asked to reflect upon how message threads work. That reflection continues here:
Are there pitfalls to commenting on the last thing posted without reading previous posts?

Maybe.. I think that someone will trick others by send the questions ..

Comment Posted by: C Y at 10:33:34 AM on 10/01/2014


I think that this was a fun project.  There were many silly comments but we learned about things. It is hard to understand the person without seeing the full page.

Hello, while reading through the blog and question i'd say that there are pitfalls to commenting on the last thing posted without reading previous post because there is always a chance that the thing you comment could be hurtful or irrelevant because you had no knowledge of what was previously stated.

Comment Posted by: J R at 10:31:07 AM on 10/01/2014


the pitfalls don't make any sence because explain it.

Comment Posted by: E P at 10:30:55 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, you might not know what is being talked about. You may miss previous information. The resulr would be not making sense.

Comment Posted by: M U at 10:30:29 AM on 10/01/2014


No, because people were suppose to answer based on the information they were given about their person.

 yes there pitfalls while i was reading this blog

Comment Posted by: T S at 10:30:06 AM on 10/01/2014


I think that there are some pitfalls when people dont read all the comments. 

Comment Posted by: S S at 10:29:43 AM on 10/01/2014


There are numerous problems with blindly commenting on these "walls", mainly due to the fact that you dont know whether your comment pertains to the original statement.

Comment Posted by: D M at 10:29:27 AM on 10/01/2014


I think people shouldn't be able to comment on their walls without reading it because they don't know what the person is like and you had to keep asking questions and they could be the same ones.

Comment Posted by: V N at 10:29:24 AM on 10/01/2014


The promlem with people comenting on the last with reading it is you might be offending them on what they said
 

Comment Posted by: B W at 10:28:50 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, because you don't know what the post is about.

Comment Posted by: K G at 10:28:47 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, there are pitfalls to posting a comment without reading previous posts because a comment/response can be oblivious to previous things mentioned/said, therefore comments are blindly made.

Comment Posted by: D L at 10:28:47 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes there are pitfalls to doing that because you may not know enough if any information about the subject the prior posts are about.

Comment Posted by: B K at 10:28:41 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes because the responses were so random and everything was so off topic.

Comment Posted by: A M at 10:28:38 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, because you might not be able to know what people are talking about
 

Comment Posted by: R H at 10:28:30 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, it probably can cause problems if you don't know all the imformation . I have read online commenting where people insult others without knowing the story, so my approval of this statement is more factually based.
 

Comment Posted by: M L at 10:28:28 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, because you just write comments without knowing what the previous person was talking about so your comments aren't relavant.

Comment Posted by: A S at 10:27:49 AM on 10/01/2014


No .
 

Comment Posted by: M W at 10:27:44 AM on 10/01/2014


There are pitfalls.  One has no idea of the previous comments which would obviously give you an idea of the situation and what it is you're talking about.

Comment Posted by: C L at 10:27:19 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, if you don't know what was already posted you may be repeating something someone already post, or you may ask a question completely irrelevant to the main idea.

Comment Posted by: R L at 10:27:15 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes because sometimes people get tired of explaining something over and over again.

Comment Posted by: N L at 10:26:42 AM on 10/01/2014


Yes, because it could lead to the whole subject of the post being changed, from cooking to Spongebob for example

One pitfall to the social media and FriendBook Inperticular is that anyone can post anything and it does not have to be related to preivious comments or posts.

Comment Posted by: S K at 10:15:53 AM on 09/30/2014


I learned that the comments don't have to do with anything about the persons interests.

Comment Posted by: C M at 10:15:51 AM on 09/30/2014


Many people answered stupid things and asked meaning less questions.
 

Comment Posted by: J T at 10:14:54 AM on 09/30/2014


I learned that that people have differant opinions.  An example is Collin asked if someone enjoys football and that person answerd not really.  Another question is do you like movies and a person answerd yes.

Comment Posted by: B D at 10:14:30 AM on 09/30/2014


Yes, because it leads to random conversation and and not continuing with the previous comments.

Comment Posted by: E L at 10:14:30 AM on 09/30/2014


Yes because you dont the persons name or information.
 

Comment Posted by: A Y at 10:13:23 AM on 09/30/2014


I think the questions were too random.

Comment Posted by: E L at 10:12:06 AM on 09/30/2014


This is a very fun thing to do and informational.

Comment Posted by: B H at 08:57:01 PM on 09/29/2014


Yes, one pitfall is that if you comment without reading previous comments you may repeat a question that has already been asked.  Another is that it does not allow you to build on any previous comments posted.

Comment Posted by: H R at 07:45:23 PM on 09/29/2014


 Yes, there are pitfalls. You can jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts. You could also ending up repeating things,in this case questions.

Comment Posted by: R W at 04:13:34 PM on 09/29/2014


i found that the conversation was interesting at least the ones i read
 

Comment Posted by: M S at 02:54:52 PM on 09/29/2014


Yes, there are pitfalls to commenting on the last thing posted without reading previous posts. The topic of conversation might have changed throughout the comments and you don't always know what they are talking about. Someone might have also said something not related to the blog and you would then sound weird and confused if you commented based off of them. You should always read all of the comments to get a better idea of the blog.

Comment Posted by: L R at 08:11:57 PM on 09/28/2014


 pitfall to commenting on the last thing posted without reading the previous posts is you could be repeating a question that has already been answerd.

Comment Posted by: E K at 10:38:15 AM on 09/26/2014


I think there are. I mean, it makes an interesting coversation, but it also doesn't make sense. If someone asks a follow up question, without reading the previous post, you don't know what they mean or what to reply.

Comment Posted by: B D at 10:37:50 AM on 09/26/2014


There are pitfalls because without reading the previous posts because it does not keep the conversation going and you are just making random comments

Comment Posted by: J D at 10:37:31 AM on 09/26/2014


hey this blob thing is awesome

Comment Posted by: R J at 10:37:22 AM on 09/26/2014


That was fun and we kinda in a way we got to learn about our peers which was nice
 

Comment Posted by: J Y at 10:37:13 AM on 09/26/2014


There are pitfalls to commenting because we do not know what the last thing posted was, so we don't know how to respond or what question to ask.

Comment Posted by: E L at 10:37:09 AM on 09/26/2014


I learned that some people can ask wierd questions

Comment Posted by: T F at 10:36:59 AM on 09/26/2014


There are pitfalls to commenting on the last thing posted with out reading the previous posts.

Comment Posted by: P W at 10:36:58 AM on 09/26/2014


there are some pitfalls because the conversations can be choppy and not on the same topic

Comment Posted by: M H at 10:36:33 AM on 09/26/2014


You can't be sure what the whole conversation is about.
