Social Networking

Some years ago social networking was just for young children or teenagers, but now, it is extended for almost every one of all ages.

Having a profile where everyone in your list of friends can watch you at the same time can present some type of problems. Maybe most of us don’t act or say the same thing with all of our acquaintances, and maybe some of our messages are not for every one to be known.

Also, many tend to "collect" friends to have a list of thousands of people, but many of who he/she never met, just to show others their popularity. Is different when is a politician or celebrity since they are using it to have a fan club.

So it is very important to take some issues into account before having a social network and learn about the site’s settings and options to configure the access level and visibility of our information to the people in our list.

Here are some tips:

- Consider the different types of social networking that exist, some are geared toward general purpose like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter; and some are for more narrow purpose for professional field as LinkedIn or to find classmates friends like Classmate.com. This can protect you of unaware public comments and photos from other person to you that can damage your professional reputation for example.

60 years of the People Republic of China

In China before October 1st, 1949, the country was suffering of poverties, millions of deaths, abuses and slaveries. People had nothing to eat and there were wars and miseries everywhere.

There were a civil war beginning in 1927 between the Nationalist (Kuomintang) with his leader Chiang Kai Shek and the Communist with Mao Zedong, until it is interrupted by the first Japanese invasion started in 1931 to 1937.

And not until the second bloody invasion of the Japanese in 1937 to 1945 when they were surrounded and defeated.

The civil war then resumed in 1946 and ended with the Communist victory, forcing the Nationalist to retreat to Taiwan where Chiang Kai Shek ruled as President and chinese people proclaimed Mao Zedong as the great savior and leader of the China nation.

In October 1st, 1949 Mao Zedong uttered in a ceremony the famous phrase: “The Chinese people . . . have now stood up!”, resulting in the beginning of China as “People Republic of China” and stated Beijing as the capital.

Now a days, we see a flourishing China country in commerce, trades, an organized military group, and lots of traditions and culture; with a population of approximately of 1.3 billions of people, making it one of the most populated country in the world.

Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of People's Republic of China and Central People's Government.

Tens of thousands of people celebrated the founding of the People's Republic of China.
