Five Comments
The Best Comment I Received:
The best common that I got was from Liz. She liked that my counterclaims weren't long and were easy to understand. Liz thinks that privacy is a complex issue, and when she posts a picture online what it can mean to another. The story that I include about a spanish teacher getting suspended for inappropriate pictures online shocked her. She wondered why exactly they fired her, and that she can understand if she were actually doing something illegal. Cyberbullying was another issue that intrigued her. She questioned how I would combat and address it in my paper. Lastly she remembered of past experiences where she was cyberbullied online through hate messages, and that it's easy to break one down online rather than face to face.
The Best Comment I Gave:
The best comment that I gave was to Shane, on his counterclaims about Smartphones. I thought that his article was really interesting, because I can totally relate to him. He explains heading to a coffee shop, and forgetting his laptop; however, since he had his smartphone he could do his business from that convenience. Although this convenience can be helpful, it can also be a distraction, which I stated. My roommate constantly is online and on her smartphone, which gets annoying. I feel like she doesn't hear what I have to say, and it's really frustrating when I want to tell her something. Shane says that not paying attention to his phone, even for a minute, helped him realize that distraction. I thought his paper was interesting, fun, and inventive.
Below are the comments I gave on five other blogs pertaining to the counterclaims.

Counterclaims
Many people think social networking doesn't effect your privacy, but it does. The things you publish online have a great impact on what people think about you. Such as if you were to post an inappropriate picture of yourself online and your boss were to stumble upon it. That alone could jeopardize your job, without any intentions. In Marcia Clemmitt's Social Networking article states, "Bachelorette party pictures on Facebook cost Spanish teacher Ginger D'Amico a 30-day suspension without pay last January." D'Amico didn't mean to stir up a controversy with her job but she did. When you're online you must be very well aware of what could be seen online and hurt you later.
Although physically violence is thought to be the most dangerous form of aggression, cyberbullying is just as traumatic. Online users can say anything they want about a person without being face to face, which leaves it pretty open. Thomas J. Billiterri, in Cyberbullying says The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have interpreted online bullying as an "emerging public-health problem. Billiterri also includes stories of teens that committed suicide due to harassment. Patrick Halligan, a thirteen year old, killed himself after months of being called gay online. His father stated, "He couldn't shake this rumor." If your child is online you really have to pay attention because cyberbullying, just as physical violence, has many harmful effects.
Being online can change your identity, even if you don't realize it. Often users change what is online to appeal to the friends they have. This in turn can make you forget who you actually are. Amy L. Gonzales and Jeffrey T. Hancock of Mirror, Mirror on my Facebook Wall state that, "Self-presentations online can be optimized through selective self-presentation, and online self-presentation affects attitudes about the self." Gonzales and Hancock conclude that this is reconstructing how people think of themselves. When online you shouldn't try to conform yourself to attract people. This can cause you to forget who you actually are.
