Canales C., Wilbanks B., & Yeoman A., “Face book Usage in Relation to Personality and Academic Performance” covenant college         articles, 4^th April 2009, Mediatimes free press. A scholarly journal based on the findings of the psychological effects in the    behavior of students resulting from participation in face book. The effects were shown to be negative in relation to their        academic performance. The credibility comes because it is an empirical research journal. To start this off is the consideration of loss of productivity that is associated with diverted attention. A face book account can be addictive and lead to loss of focus       to an employee or a student in that there will be the urge to chat, check the latest gossip and spend a lot of hours that would             have been more useful if directed to some other more productive task. In fact, the social networking site is heavily regulated in          workplace situations the employers having realized the potential hazards in terms of productivity. Students have been noted to      have a shortened attention span and reduced interest in issues of great academic significance like assignments. If one is unable to concentrate and stay-off the site it is better off to deactivate ones account to spare one of some additional hours.

Snookiri, “Face book pros and cons”, You Tube Nov 6^th 2008, 8^th Dec 2009 from http://www.youtube.com a video expounding on the      disadvantages and advantages that are associated with the social networking site from a users point of view. The surprises that         can result from facebook relationships are specifically addressed. There is a lot of superficiality and a person who values real            relationships would not be so enthusiastic in building the facebook relationships. Most if not all of a persons friends will only            submit information that makes them look better than they actually are. From the photos and the videos that are uploaded, there        is the general inclination to present ones best side first and the result is bonding with someone on a superficial level. In case   prove is needed of this point, it is easily obtainable once a person decides to link up face to face with an admired friend on face             book. More likely than not, surprise is inevitable in the sense one realizes a lot that was concealed by the mere social network             interaction. Thus, if a person were looking for quality in relationships definitely a face book account would not be that helpful.

Juker D., Baby-boomers: What you want to know about Facebook, but were too afraid to ask, Ohio, University Heights, 2008. By use             of communication and social theories, the author attempted to look at the negative and the positive implications of face         book since its conception in 2004. There is special mention to the relational laziness that a facebook account encourages;             this is in respect to lethargy in relationships. For instance, it is your birthday and conventionally you would be entitled to a            surprise party, secret gifts and at least some good phone calls. Thanks to having a facebook account, one will find      themselves with thousands of notifications all expressing the same thing and in an almost similar way: happy birthday! In             context to this, facebook seems to replace the convectional ways of appreciating some one that were more involving and       consequently meant more. The birthday incidence is just an example of how relationships are reduced in terms of       involvement and meaning through a face book account. It may even be prudent to de-activate a face book account before    your next birthday and take into account how many of your friends are likely to remember and give you a call that is if one can handle the news.

First, there is the fact will go public and even removing that person as a friend will not be of much help if it         happens over a thread since you will still get the messages. There arises the issue of containing the extent of damage that          can arise in the context of facebook enmity. Pictures can easily be posted as links, threads are formed with the intent of            depressing someone emotionally and on a general note, the damage on reputation is endless. Thus, it would leave one with             little or no choice to deactivate the account and be very oblivious to the dirt been thrown about
