          Have you been using social networking sites? Friendster, Facebook, Twitter or maybe Multiply? There are lots to choose from. I've been using some of these sites for quite some time now. From being a user of these sites for more than 8 years already, I can say that I've noticed it evolve from simple to complex. Different applications and games were instilled, uploading photos and videos also became a trend, testimonials became a thing of the past and were replaced by shout outs or what we also call status. These were some of the innovations that took place as years pass by to social networking sites.

          What really bothers me now-a-days are the different statuses I read from my friends and random individuals. Some are sensible, interesting, informative and useful but most of the time, all I read are nonsense ones and very irrelevant comments. Sometimes when you gaze at it, you tend to become irritated. Different thoughts cross your mind and it makes you want to think why they've posted such? Its just like they post for the sake of posting something without even caring if it is good to post or not. To think and feel that someone out there should care enough to read and appreciate it is all that matters. Do people really have to share things like this? I mean like for some instances, something small happened to you today (that most people wouldn't want to know or care) and you post it to your status. After doing so, someone reads it. Some will make a comment about it, some will not. When the reader finds the status you've posted is something without substance, its either he/she will make fun of it or reply a comment that you wouldn't want to read or hear.

         I know that the site you've chosen to place your status is somewhat still your personal space. But hey, post wisely! If you don't want others to bash your posts, learn how to filter things that you say in the internet. In my opinion, you don't really have to post everything that happens to you every second, minute, hour and day of your life. All the actions and things you've done for the day that are nonsense don't deserve to be posted. Why you say? There are too many reasons for me to mention, but let me just start by saying... It is a waste of time. And worse? you might even encounter an enemy in the making. Another thing I noticed about posts is that when people are angry or having a fight with his/her enemy, they dwell too much on it that the hate and madness continue to spread even in their statuses. They post it for what? To gain allies? Symphaty? This is such a pathetic way to gain some. Couldn't you just keep it to yourself or deal with it in a more mature way?

          A bad post made by a single person may start something. We might not know it but it may cause a fight to ignite, misunderstanding to happen, gossip to spread, error to occur, deeper hate to develop or whatever unpleasant happening you can think of. Yes, all because of a single post. You might not believe me, but sooner or later you will, that is if it happens to you. Will you wait for that to happen? If you are a smart person who is capable of doing responsible actions, you would start thinking before clicking that post or share button. Think about it before you click it.
