A people network. A people highway. What an apt way of explaining what social networking is all about.
Or is that really it?
Do you know that now, Social networking sites have become so popular not only for reconnecting with old friends and even meeting new ones, but police have found they can also be useful when tracking down suspects and are using them to track them down! How amazing is that?

I think it's so cool that social networking sites can be used not only for staying connected, making new friends but catching criminals. I guess, it's just pretty awesome that social networking sites can be used for even greater purposes than the shallow purposes of people seeking attention with what they post. I guess as I've mentioned it before on my first couple of posts that social media has changed many people today.
What I think it has done most are the connections that people can have from every part of the world. If you have a facebook account, just take a look at the number of people you're connected to somehow, and where they are currently; and yet with a click, or a status update, you know exactly what they are up to.
Isn't it true that the world is getting so small nowadays?
