In the past few years, there's a popular saying among youngsters: " Except 'know' and 'don't know', people have another relationship, which is "I'm a friend on his/her Facebook/Twitter/Blog..." It is the social media that makes our world much smaller than ever.MicroBlog--a popular social network website in China is famous for the "popularity users" who may be a pop star（Tom Cruise）, a political critic, a BTO arena(Christine Lagarde), etc. Every one can have a chance make close contact with those celebrities during the "Micro Interview" time, when the celebrities are required to answer people's questions during a period of time. This can be an advantage for the "popularity users" to gain popularity and know what the fans focus on most. And the fans are satisfied to talk to someone who they're really admire but have no chance to meet with. As we can see, the social media does bring us a great convenient of sharing information and contacting with people around the world.
However, the impact of MicroBlog can also be negative. Because of the relatively freedom of speech on the social network, it is hard to control what people are saying. And the private of the people related to the comments is hard to be protected.Sometimes we find people have no secret at all when they are exposed in the social media.
How to balance the convenient information exchange and the privacy? Maybe all of us have to find a best way before enjoying the "small world".
