Like before we have to meet each other in a certain place to have a talk discussion with our friends, but now, after the invention of social networking websites, like facebook, which can be cover as the "meeting place", has made the changes for people to share, connect, and keep in contact with each other anywhere in the world just by the use of the internet."

- He start using Friendster last 2006 and terminated his account after 5 months, he said he got bored that's why he deactivated his account.

-He is a Friendster user for 3 years, he used to check his profile everyday before but not as active like he used to, today.
- He registered a facebook account last October 2009, and he check it everyday. He uses facebook to kill boredom whenever he doesn't have anything to do. At the same time, he is updated about his friends and also in contact with his relatives in abroad.
"I think it's a good way to stay connected to people, show pictures and share experiences and feelings. The downside is people are getting too addicted to Social Networking sites especially Facebook. They just stay in front of the computer for hours. People procrastinate more because of this they'd rather play FarmVille,MafiaWars,Poker, etc. Students automatically log in to Facebook when they start their computers. It gets in the way with their studies and also some parents or even people who work."
Friendster user from 2003 - up to present but not active user anymore. Her account in friendster is still working but not updated.
- She is currently using Facebook since 2009. She checks it everyday and update her status. She uses Facebook to socialize, see her old friends, use as a medium of communication and to see daily events about her school organization and latest school activities.
" Social networking for me is also a good way of communication. There are lot of benefits that a user can do. And some of these are: It allow us to meet new friends and find the old ones. Social Networking also gives convenience to people that through internet we can see and talk to the person. It allow us to show and share pictures, information and updates about us. It also can use as a marketing tool to promote a product and advocacy. It also gives us freedom to share and express our feelings. It also entertain us through games and videos.
