Week 8: #18 Social Networking

I looked around at all the social networking sites in the Discovery Resources. I had heard of MySpace and Facebook, but I didn't know about some of the specialized sites such as Infield Parking - http://www.infieldparking.com/ or Threadless - http://threadless.com.

I enjoyed looking through Ning - http://www.ning.com/. I found several interesting social networking sites such as one geared toward Irish Dance -http://irishdancing.ning.com/.

I was surprised by how much you can see on the social networks without actually being a member. I guess sites want to get folks interested enough to want to join. I'm glad that sites also try to authenticate users before letting them in to lots of chat and more personal areas of the sites.
