"I believe I saw a giraffe"

What I write here is read "I believe I saw (a) giraffe". This is to imitate an ancient Egyptian language "Hieroglyphics" (3200 BC - AD 400), which pictures were used to represent sounds. Communication is a basic need for human being. Now, it's time for the 21th Century communication, it's time for Social Networking! - Thinnakorn

A Reflection on Blogging!


Before starting my Blog I had a little concern about how I could create and maintain a good Blog. It was my first time of keeping an academic Blog on the assigned topic. It’s not difficult to create and work on Blog but to have a good article for each post that counts. I must say I was happy when I got comments from others. Aja, Benjamas, Bart, Nattee, Sirinuch etc. always gave constructive comments for my Blog. Let me have special thanks for all of them and also for those who viewed and read my Blog. This is a wonderful experience for me. Blogging can be a good example of e-learning where students can do their research and share them online. I thought that the cost of operating e-learning was high but now by using a free social networking site as a discussion forrum there is almost no cost of running an e-learning.

By keeping Blog I found that style of presenting contents in Blog is very important. Pictures must be carefully selected to catch attention from audience. As well as using photographs, trying to use video and audio contents on my blog could help a lot making it more interesting. Commenting on others Blog is a great way to create a strong impression in keeping Blog. Writing a great post cannot impress others than commenting on their Blogs. At the same time I have to think about my audience especially when they leave their comments on my Blog. There should be a quick reply as soon as possible.



My Blog on Social Networking!

I have chosen “Social Networking” to be a topic for my Blog. I found that it’s vital to understand how social networking works no matter who we are, users or providers. After many weeks of keeping Blog on this topic I found that it was hard to cover all the topic concerning Social Networking. I tried my best to cover as many aspects of social networking as possible. My topics on Social Networking posted on my Blog are:

The power of Social Networking is infinite.

Finally we are coming to the end of our discussion on "Blog". I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who viewed, commented and shared ideas in this "Social Networking" Blog.  Social networking is a big issue nowadays and it's hard to cover all the topic in this issue within a month or even a year. The power of social networking is so great. Right now, millions of people are involving in social networking sites. I would like to sum up with this video which shows us how great the power of Social Networking is. Thank you!


Just would like to remind you that although there has been a lot of attention given to how children and young adults use social networking sites, adults are still listed as the main users. It is estimated that 35% of adults are social network users. There are few things to think about when signing up to a social network:
  • Profiles - Understand what to put their and any restrictions that may apply and should apply.
  • Security - This is a dangerous world, carefulness as to how you display info is important. Young people often do not think of these things and can make themselves prey for predators.
