Thing 20: Social Networks

After about 2 years of saying I'd never join Facebook or MySpace, I had to eat my words in early June. Several of my friends had already joined Facebook, and eventually I caved. I am glad that I finally did join, as I've been able to reconnect with some people I have not had contact with for YEARS! In addition to finding and communicating with old friends, I have joined a couple of groups - "Minnesota Football Fans", "Vikings Fans", and "Delta Gamma-Lambda Chapter" - and taken a quiz to find out which Disney Princess I am (Belle). I believe that Facebook is the fastest growing social network because you have more control over who does and does not have access to your profile, making it feel more private and secure.
