I think this article shows us how generalized the word "friend" has become

This article is basically saying that relationships are being affected by technology. It brings up the point that if we have 1000 friends on Facebook how many of those friends are we actually keeping in contact with. Another point is that the more time we spend on social networking sites the less time we spend socializing face-to-face.

Sometimes Social networking makes it hard for us to understand who our real friends are. I think most of us are past having an exponential amount of friends but we certainly are obsessed with how we project ourselves on the internet. It's hard for us to maintain relationships or meet people online without questioning the realness of it.

It states in the article researchers have found which times people are the happiest, and which times people are more likely to be sad: "Mislove and Lehamann found that people are happiest on Sunday mornings and saddest on Thursday evenings. They also found the following mood pattern each day: 6:00-7:00 am: Happy Tweets 12:00-4:00 pm: Sad Tweets Evening: Happy Tweets "

Twitter is allowing the people of Saudi Arabia the chance to display their opinions without being persecuted for it.

The fact that Twitter is driving a social revolution within Saudi Arabia is astounding to me. It is a social network and because accounts are private citizens of the monarchy are able to broadcast their opinions without being persecuted for it, it's kind of like an open forum.

Twitter in america is treated like a luxury the same way that water or electricity is taken for granted. We use our social networking to broadcast the type of frape we just ordered even though those tools are used for people to come together against the government. This is an interesting aspect that is much more relevent in other countries than America.
