This afternoon I was at my nephew's birthday party and some cousins were there whom I don't see very often. It was nice to visit with them without needing to play "catch up" because they are Facebook friends. I have a tiny little snapshot of what is going on in their lives because of their postings.
If I was in some master's program that allowed me to choose any topic, I would seriously consider studying the phenomenon that is Facebook. I think it is revolutionary and changing the way we communicate/keep in touch with one another. I am curious about how different demographics use Facebook and wonder about the rate of new accounts that are opened on a weekly and monthly basis. It seems like just about everyone is on Facebook.
There are lots of pros to being on Facebook and, of course, some cons. Like how much time one can actually spend on it! But I really like that I now have an easy way to stay in touch with friends and family at the click of a button.
So if you're reading this and haven't signed up yet...get to it! It's really fun!
