The revised version was much more free and less structured.
I like the newer version because it allowed us to revise our past essays.
More time spent on each essay. I felt that all the essays were very rushed.
I liked the fact that we all had laptops and it made it very easy to show each other our work and we did not have to print anything out.

Title:
College students' social networking experiences on Facebook.
Authors:

3.3. How are students interacting on Facebook?
Like traditional media such as television and film viewing, Facebook consists of a one-to-many communication style, where information presented reaches many “viewers” at a time. However, with social networking sites, users are now the creators of content, and they view one another's profiles and information rather than viewing mass-produced content made by large corporations. They also become the stars of their own productions. As students commented:
“I primarily use Facebook to maintain connections with people that I do not get to see or talk to that often. It has also been an easy form of mass communication to disseminate information or things such as pictures.”
“They are very helpful for networking, Myspace especially – where you can become an internet celebrity.”
This pattern of one-to-many communication is also revealed by what students do online (observe/lurk) and by wall posts (where many students can see what they are doing all at once) rather than sending private messages.

Assessing assessments
I need a book and a journal article, p460 inventing arguments
I think i have, my resources have met the requirements and are all very helpful. I do need more than what i have, however I think i will be able to manage.

Research resource image
This is a pie chart of the ages of people that use facebook. This is a very useful source because it shows that the majority of people that use facebook are young adults, meaning that the majority of those 70 million facebook users are young adults.
Resources reflection
How did you find your resources?
I went on the san jose library website and used databases such as search premier. I used an interview in which I interview 20 of my friends that use facebook. I got this idea from you during our 15 minute meeting and I simply asked 20 people at random that had facebooks. I also went on google and looked for articles and such.
How has research altered your original idea?
My research has made me narrow my thesis in terms of the age of the people I am focusing on. Other than that it has not really altered my idea.

This newspaper article talks about the fact that people that use facebook to interact with friends that they already no, and not strangers which helps me prove my point that it keeps friends connected, despite geographically distances.
