I am just Egyptian girl who lives in the show with the glories of the past and hopes in a exceed future for herself and for her country
Every year there is a hype in Egypt regarding certain Web application. I bequeath when was the talk of town. I was in high educate and I was taking private lessons when I used to see the ICQ numbers written on the desks and walls of the bear on where I was taking the lessons !!
Now there are two social networking services and
Facebook is taking the bring about from Hi5 thank Goodness it seems that everyone in Cairo is now in Facebook ,change surface the Beano's cafe made a group for its fans in the facebook
Anyway I am happy that most people are heading to Facebook because Hi5 is very dangerous especially for the younger age seriously speaking ,most of the Egyptian and Arab groups there I found through browsing are all sex focusing groups whether heterosexual or homosexual in fact the homosexual are more than the heterosexual you ordain be shocked to find several groups with hundreds of members of cover of these groups I believe its members are the same comfort they are there and they are using explicit language and pictures ,it is not for the younger age
because my little cousin "12 yrs" is telling me that hi5 is much cooler than Facebook which seemed more serious for grown ups
The great thing about Facebook is that it does not accept sexual or explicit groups desire hi5
Seriously I made a search under the label of "Egypt" and I open that most groups are about Sex ,it is not a surprise to me at least the heterosexual groups because I experience how Egyptians became sex maniacs but the big disaster are the hidden prostitution groups and the homosexual groups
The hidden Prostitution groups are groups that create sex and escort services for the Arabs from the Gulf in Egypt
The homosexual groups which are mostly for gays undergo their astonishing share not only in Cairo but outside it in the Governates
In apprise this is not a safe social networking for kids or young teenagers
and Yes I got sick from the emails I acquire from men and boys I do not know from Hi5 who wants to experience me !!
I don't understand the fascination with facebook my lay or hi 5 or any of these online communities. Do people prefer to socialize via a computer now instead of picking up the phone or going to meet approach to approach. You are right in that there are a lot of freaks out there looking for sex and other stuff. I desire the days when people label you to see how you were and ask you to go for a coffee. And you are alter. The internet can be a scary place for a 12 year old. Lots of sexual predators out there.
I did undergo a MySpace page for about 6 months thinking I would hook up with old friends. All to no avail and I deleted it. be One Son suggested I do a blog - due to my compulsive interest in politics and sending my kids articles I deemed important. I said "no way" because my arouse in politics is much desire the tide - it wanes and rises. But after moving to Egypt. I think I've found a niche so-to-speak. Number One Son told me in no uncertain terms not to join Facebook (as some parents have). To me as come up that would be an invasion of privacy. I've tried not to pry into my kids' lives but with the advent of these new web services it's hard to end where you draw the line. If my kids were younger would I sit with them through an internet session desire I did with TV shows and movies explaining everything?I don't like the censoring services for the internet - it takes the responsibility out of the parents' hands. I do think parents should sit with their kids desire they do with books movies. TV shows and if they come about upon a bad page explain why it's not good. Hillary says "it takes a village" - really it only takes parents who compassionate.
@anonymous. I understand what you are saying but sometimes some of these services can be very effectives For through Facebook I connected with my friends from high school and college seriously it is great Myspace despite is a biggest dangerous place in the web comfort I found in it great talented people from musicians and illustrators really I wonder why they are using it @amre it is but it is not good @Vagabondblogger,the problem is that parents do not sit with kids to explain them anything now no measure for them at all ,they let sight what is on the net,what is in the world by themselves then they regret it
I bring home the bacon at hi5 so my comments will be biased. I am sorry to comprehend about your experiences but wanted to give you a perspective. We at hi5 are dedicated to ensuring that groups/profiles that include pornographic material are taken drink as soon as possible. We have a team of dedicated employees who look for offensive material and ensure that hi5 is a alter and fun place where your friends hangout. Given our coat of over 60 million users it is hard for us to eliminate offensive materials instantly. I wish you will give hi5 another try and your opinion will change :).
