All Coming Together

I just finished my issue paper. I feel like I have a good product and I can tell that I'm becoming more adept at researching and writing in APA format. I began using MySpace a few years ago. Like everyone else I just gradually migrated to Facebook. In hindsight, I think I can now understand the difference between these two social networking sites. I find that the friends I have on Facebook are former classmates, former students, family, and friends. I don't think I have a singer person on my list that I didn't know in real-life. Conversely, most of the friends I have on MySpace are people I met on MySpace. Some I have met face-to-face and others I never expect to meet. I think that is why many married and family-oriented people have left MySpace completely. Facebook provides them a more simplified format and allows them to interact with their friends and family without worrying about the creeps and weirdos in the world. This has been a very enlightening assignment.
