Social Networking

After doing a good amount of facebook stalking, I found a person named Max who’s profile I will now analyze. Within minutes I knew that today is Max’s 21st birthday, he’s a member of a fraternity here on campus, and knows a large amount of my sorority sisters. His facebook picture has a solo cup in it so I can assume he likes to drink/party. I also learned that he’s Jewish and from Delaware. He’s a junior at USC and lives in McBryde, I’m assuming in the fraternity hall there. From looking at his pictures he seems like a pretty cool guy, someone I could probably be friends with.

His facebook lists a lot of information about himself. His full name is there, both his high school and college are listed, along with his major, English. His full birthday is on there as well. Max lists his USC e-mail along with his room number in McBryde. He doesn’t list any job information so I’m assuming he has never had one.

Max lists a lot of his interests such as: working out, going out, x box, scuba diving, football, cheese stakes, goofiness, crabs, and my all time favorite ZIMA.

His musical interests are everything from air supply, Billy Joel, Brad Paisley, Corey Smith, Fallout Boy, Fleetwood Mac, Hall and Oates, Jimmy Buffet, Journey, and Tobey Keith to name a few. His music is listed alphabetically which is very interesting for a boy to spend time alphabetizing their interests. I can also assume that Max likes classic rock with a bit of country. I approve of his musical choices.

Max’s favorite tv shows are also very good choices: Entourage, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, and Friends. His movie list includes Undercover Brother, Pirates of the Caribbean, Knocked Up, Big Lebowski, History of the World Part 1, Godfather, Casino, and Stomp the Yard. His movie choices are very broad but shows he is open to all genres. After looking at his interests its safe to say that Max and I would have a lot to talk about.

I believe Max uses his facebook in order to stay in touch with friends, make new friends or at least keep talking to people he met once or twice.  The reason I think this is because a girl wrote on his wall saying,”It was so great meeting you last night let’s hang out again”.
