Social Networking Post #2

My previous blog (#7) about social networking prior to this class somewhat covered our requirements for Blogpost 8. This class wasn't my first interaction with Facebook or MySpace, I use both frequently, almost more so now that I'm in school because a lot of student organization/networking groups only use Facebook to promote events or update members on upcoming activities. LinkedIn is on my to-do list, I think it would be more useful in finding a job post-graduation than the other sites since it is specifically for professional connections.

These sites have changed the way I communicate with my friends - there are some that I don't use email with at all, particularly groups of friends because we can all communicate simultaneously (sort of, with Facebook threads). Also, the visual element makes keeping in contact more interesting, I feel like I can see what their lives are like rather than just read about them. It makes for quicker and easier communication, as pictures/videos can tell stories faster than text.
