Friends Abroad

I have been a part of this website since the early summer time and I thought it is an interesting website in relation to the topic of globalization. The website allows people to sign up and communicate with others throughout the world. It takes your interests and knowledges of world languages and helps match you up with friends to talk to with in different areas of the world.

I think the website is interesting because I see some globalization in it once again. I think this website shows just how much the internet is a part of globalization and how it's now a vital communication tool in opening us up to different parts of the world. Through the internet, and through this website specifically, everyone from the many areas of the world can come to one place to communicate. The internet has really linked everyone together and this website helps increase the value of this link. There's so many worlds out there and cultures, but this website really brings everyone together. It is safe so long as you don't give out personal information and are safe in who you talk with and where they are from.

This website is actually a little more unique in that it differs from the My Space/facebook kind of "feel." Most people who are a part of this website are actually in the looking to learn about different cultures and make new friends. It's very plain and basic as compared to My Space, but the experinece is better.
