Global Neighbourhoods Article
I was reading the updates on the required subscriptions and ran across an article I found rather interesting. The arcticle was about the popularity of Facebook I was surprised to learn that it was read eight times more than the New York Times, and 18.5 Million users is really amazing. While this news is interesting, I also find it somewhat concerning. The daily news should be much higher on our priority list than a website such as Facebook. However, these statistics do speak to the growing amount of people who use social media such as these sites online. And the author is right, professionals in any sort of marketing or PR field would be doing their companies a disservice if they do not pay attention to these stats.

This is interesting Roger. Are you on facebook? If you are, we should be facebook friends. I love facebook. lol. I think it's crazy how employers and colleges are using facebook for recruiting tools now. Don't you? Neat! Bye.
Of course I am on facebook, almost every college kid is. It is not only crazy but also scary the way facebook is being used now. I've known a couple people who have gotten in trouble due to the content of their facebook. Some athletic teams I know don't even let their athletes have an account anymore.
