What is one idea in social processing theory?
A. Distinguishing between face to face communication.
I have a account on Facebook and mixi and twitter. But I rarely use mixi. I use twitter everyday. Because twitter is easy to post. I sometimes use Facebook. But I think Facebook is dangerous social media. Because we have to use our real name on Facebook. Name is very important personal information.

Q.Name three other social media companies.
A.Especially, Twitter, YouTube, and Linkedin.
It is difficult to use all of them, because many social network systems have appeared.
So we have to choose from what type of SNS should be important for use.
Also, it is limited for us to handle these information that if it is comming at a stretch.
But many social network systems could use it efficiently, by if you connected to the others SNS, for instance, Facebook and Twitter, Twitter and YouTube.
If you know how to use it, I think it could expand the possibility to send your opinion to the world.
One thing that you have to care about it, is not to be as a network cripple.
