"Why Social Networking? Through social networking , people can use networks of online friends and group memberships to keep in touch with current friends, reconnect with old friends or create real-life friendships through similar interests or groups. Besides establishing important social relationships, social networking members can share their interests with other like-minded members by joining groups and forums. Some networking can also help members find a job or establish business contacts. Most social networking websites also offer additional features. In addition to blogs and forums, members can express themselves by designing their profile page to reflect their personality. The most popular extra features include music and video sections. Members can read bios of their favorite music artists from the artist's profile page as well as listen to their favorite songs and watch music videos. The video section can include everything from member-generated videos from hundreds of subjects to TV clips and movie trailers."

Video chat is an idea that has been around for a while, but not until recently was it actually possible on a large scale. Now people can talk to each other as if they are in the same room through their televisions, and do it everyday if they want to.

Wow - great to see a new online program EXCEED its initial enrollment goals! This model is worth keeping an eye on.

It is growing! I saw a commercial a couple of years ago that really struck me. It depicted two kids in a very modern home in Japan with their mother mulling about doing house work.

I have to believe that it is very real model that will evolve and succeed as it is at USC. Great article, thanks!
