Facebook and Social Networking
Facebook and other popular social networks are constantly in the news. Check out the latest with these articles:
The Facebook revolution - LA Times, October 7, 2007
“The kinds of information one can push through a digital web of family, friends, neighbors and colleagues — properly segmented — is endless and powerful. For instance, because I have a Facebook profile, I already know what books, magazines and newspapers my friends read, what websites they frequently visit, what music they listen to and what TV shows and movies they like. Many executives I know “google” and “facebook” job candidates before they arrive for an interview.”
The Fakebook Generation - The New York Times, October 6, 2007
“Facebook did not become popular because it was a functional tool — after all, most college students live in close quarters with the majority of their Facebook friends and have no need for social networking. Instead, we log into the Web site because it’s entertaining to watch a constantly evolving narrative starring the other people in the library.”
You Are Not My Friend - Time, October 04, 2007
“This is hard to say to a friend, but our relationship is starting to take up too much of my time. It’s weird that I know more about you than I do about actual friends I hang out with in person–whom I propose we distinguish by calling “non-metafriends.” In fact, I know more about you than I know about myself. I have no idea what my favorite movie or song or TV show is.”
