Its a excellent site to help get the students involved in discussions and also arise their own questions. They are able to have their own opinions on what other people say also. Its a excellent tool if students are doing an assignment, they can talk between each other, ask questions or help this will then assist them with their assignment. Its also good for teachers to use as its a excellent way for forums for all to be involved.
 * Professional Use**

I feel this is excellent way to stay in contact with friends or family. If I was travelling I would also use it to post what I am doing so that all my family and friends are able to see and make comments. Another use would be if you are interested in topic and want to talk to other people who are also interested in the same topic.

 * Possible Problems**
 * People have to remember that before they post something they have to be willing for anyone to see it
 * Bullying could also be a issue so within a school setting and as a teacher you would want to make sure this isnt happening
 * Students use it for the wrong reasons
