| Features of Old Facebook: - It's a photo album. Anyone who can view your page can see your photos. - You can also post status updates. - It publishes a list of your friends. Anyone is free to check that out. - Your friends can write on your wall, where anyone can see what they wrote. - It publishes your biographical data: where you go (or went) to school, where you work, whether you're single, and if not what kind of relationship you're in. - You belong to a number of "groups". The groups don't organize activities or act as chat channels; their purpose is that your page displays a list of the names of the groups to which you belong, and that list is an expression of your personality and/or ideological commitments. Which of those do WhatsApp groups do? |
