Post No.4 Facebook
My Facebook URL: http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=762493783
I followed the "Facebook" facebook page. All of the posts were of a professional nature. The posts were generally about global issues. Some posts were about the slew of tornadoes ripping through the southern half of the United States. Others were about the royal wedding. One post, the most recent post of the week, really stood out to me. This post was about how this group of women are trying to aid the police in the unsolved disappearance of one of their friends, by using Facebook, of all things. They are reaching out to people, trying to raise awareness. The women want to proliferate the picture, and information about their amigo to try and help the police save their friend. Following the "Facebook" Facebook page for a week was an enjoyable experience. There was great dialogue between the admins of the site, and people who are concerned with the issues raised on the "Wall".

All these websites, directories, and invisible web pages aided me in finding more information about social networking, and the websites that cater to social networks.

Post No.1
My general topic to research is social networks, more specifically, how have social networks been in the past, in different ways, to satisfy our needs? This topic took me on a wonderful adventure, exploring such websites as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and StumbleUpon. Each of these websites (besides Facebook and Myspace) have a unique function that the common man can utilize to improve his quality of life. Facebook and Myspace are useful social networking websites that allow people to connect virtually. They basically take social interaction and make it possible with anyone you want, at any time, anywhere. Twitter is a little different. Twitter has a similar goal, but accomplishes it with a slightly differing philosophy. Instead of dealing with photo albums, games, and notes, Twitter focuses more on what the subject is doing right now. StumbleUpon has a completely different function. StumbleUpon works in sync with other social networking sites to provide news custom tailored to the user. All of these social networking sites has its own place, and improves the life of the user in it's own way.
