From Friend Request to Forever

Image
  If someone had told me years ago that one single Facebook message would completely change my life, I'd have likely laughed . Social media is all noise—likes, shares, tags—but it provided me with something life-changingly true: love.     I met my future spouse on Facebook. At the time, he was a total stranger. I honestly can't even recall who initiated the first friend request, but I do remember the conversation that followed. It started small: a hello, a comment on a post, shared interest. Over time, we started talking more. One thing that surprised me was how easy it felt, even through a screen. He was mannered, thoughtful, witty, and genuinely wanted to get to know me.   Over time, our chats grew long. We had become good friends, never having even met. Then, eventually, that friendship blossomed into something more. What began as a surprise Internet connection transformed into a relationship of trust, laughter, and love.     Fast-forward to today—...

Realizing I Knew Web 2.0 Before I Knew the Name

Working on the Produsage assignment was one of those moments where everything just clicked . As I sat down to design my project and reflected on the concept of Web 2.0, I realized something surprising—I had already been part of the Web 2.0 world for years. I just didn’t know that’s what it was called. From contributing to community Facebook groups in Nepal, to posting educational updates on the Kids of Kathmandu YouTube channel, to organizing digital resources for teachers, I had been participating, creating, and collaborating online long before I encountered the term “produsage.” It was like rediscovering my own work through a new lens.

Can We Trust What We See on Facebook?

In a more recent study by Hussain, Rafique, and Naveed (2023), the credibility of Facebook content among university students was evaluated. The results indicated that the information on Facebook was deemed credible and of good quality by the students, especially if it came from sources they believed in.   The most significant factors influencing this trust were source credibility, reliability of the platform, and information quality. Surprisingly, the age , education level, and social status of a student also influenced how they assessed credibility.   It reminds me that as we are prone to scrolling rapidly, we're always assessing what's real and what's not, even when we don't even realize we're doing so. It's a helpful reminder to pay attention to why we trust what we do.   Reference:   Hussain, K. M., Rafique, G. M., & Naveed, M. A. (2023).
