Under half (49%) use the sites to make new friends.

Web 2.0 Storytelling: Emergence of a New Genre - 0 views

  •  
    As the phrase suggests, it is the telling of stories using Web 2.0 tools, technologies, and strategies. Since the name is fairly recent (and not yet widely used), it may not bear out as the best term for this trend. Another name may emerge, one better suited to describing this narrative domain.

  •

Is Facebook a Cult? - 0 views

  •  
    A theory: Facebook management is acting like a group of cult leaders intent on changing the rest of us into more social, less private people than we might want to be.
