I’ve been working with social networks as the basis for what I feel is a good topic for us to go towards. So far with working with Diigo the majority of the sites I’ve been interested in are sites geared towards facebook, myspace, and twitter. These networks that are a major form of communication and information flow (and currently the most popular form of social networking) and how popular they have become over the past couple years.
The amount of time that a student spend on these networks are what makes this topic so intriguing. I even recently read a time magazine article about how facebook is more popular then adult entertainment sites within the 18 to 24-age range. On top of facebook being more popular then adult entertainment, it is also becoming more a more popular form of communication over emailing. Think of how easy and fast it is to communicate back and forth. These networks combine the capability or instant messenger, email, photo uploading, and blogging all in one. It is a network that allows society to keep up on family members friends, and even strangers near and far.
