Since I have finished off BAPP, I have started to notice and understand better about what the course was trying to teach me.
An example would be 'Tit for Tat' rules in Module one. I did not fully understood about the rules and connection between the web 2.0. Albeit, I am starting to understand about the rule since I quit being a professional dancer, and started to teach.
It happened a few days ago. As I opened up my tablet to start checking about my 'teacher/business' account on Facebook, I have noticed there was a message from my acquaintance. It was an advertisement/merchandise of the acquaintance's performance with a message "Please promote it". It means to share it on Facebook. I pressed the button of 'Like', so a notification would come up on all of my friends page. However, I did not promote any further. There is a reason for it. The acquaintance whom asked my promotion had let me down in past about a teaching plan. As I was expecting what we planned, I was disappointed. That was the reason why I did not promote any further than pressing 'Like' button.
Another incident. As a part of what I do now for living, advertisement and to update a notification is important. So, I can remind people of what is happening. However, one day When I had up dated a post to remind about the class, a person written an advertisement message of a different class as a comment on my post. I could just simply not believe it! I found that extremely rude and I was not impressed the person's action. The person sent me a friend request after. However, I am still thinking about accepting or not.
Opposite example would be a dance shop page on the site. They liked my page. I immediately liked their page. Since then, their dance shop news pops up on my teacher page. However, I am absolutely fine with it. As they helped me out, I will help them out.
So, going through these incidence, I have slowly started to realise what the web 2.0. and Social Networking Service has done to the world. These new systems changed this big world as a Local Community. And, if people are living in a big place where they do not know each other, people do care less about the consequences of their action towards each other. However, the web 2.0. assembled us as a big group. We all need to be careful and need to think about what we write and say on SNS. 'Tit for Tat', do not forget.
