Hi5

Cardoso's picture

Such a powerful "weapon" this Hi5 is...although I use it frequentely and I aprove that people use it, I'm against those who use it to manipulate others.

I've known people that had photos stolen, MSN accounts scammed...this all because of Hi5.People need to use it correctly, so that things like those I've said before don't happen to any of us.

Rodrigo, maybe you should

Rodrigo, maybe you should present some arguments to support your opinion, instead of just expressing a negative judgment that doesn't add much to the discussion :-).

Hi5 is great :D

Well, I love hi5 :b I think it is a great form of meat new people, socialize, talk with friends, etc.! It has some defects, because some people use it badly! But I think that we can use Hi5 with safe, since that we don't put any personal information there or put intimate photos.

I think that is a very sensible, balanced view. Social networks are great if you use them in positive and meaningful ways.

-----------
Usage notes:
- of meetING, sociallizING, talkING... - after prepositions like OF, BY, AT, FROM, etc., you need an ING form;
- we can use Hi5 SAFELY (if you really want to use "with", then you need the noun "safety", not the adjective "safe");
- "as long as", not "since that" (this is a "Portuguese" mistake - desde que=since that :-));
- "or intimate photos there".

Well, I'm no teacher, but I'll just correct this one... xD

It's not "I no use", it's "I don't use".

Cheers ;P

You got that right, and yet you drew the wrong conclusion:-D.
Correcting other people's English is not a good idea, believe me. You'll be doing more harm than good most of the time. Leave that job to the teachers.

Participating in the community and sharing your ideas is very good in itself, and since you write very well you are already helping other members a lot :-).

Cheers
