About My Term Research Paper

Well, for my term research paper, I basically conducted research on online social networking, why it is important, what it is exactly, how it came about, and the various perspectives on the phenomenon. My research came from online scholarly documents and articles. Through my research, I found it extremely tiring and boring reading through all the scholarly documents. However, at the same time, there are key points that were quite interesting and informing. I have learned more on the topic of social networking than I have by just using sites such as Facebook.com. I chose this topic because online social networking is an expanding field with a lot of potential. There has to be a reason behind the success as well as a foundation for it. To understand how and why it is successful, research must first be conducted. In conclusion, online social networking isn't disappearing anytime soon. Expect new applications, evolution, and features from these sites because more and more of these sites will start up and competition will only increase. To stay on top, these sites will have to please us users. In addition, these sites are becoming more and more mobile with the boom of smart phones. My research paper provides some insight onto one form of new media, online social networking.

    Social sites are competing for users with each other and constantly coming up with some new ideas. For example,I have read the article in Wall Street Journal that Facebook bargains with Nokia, the world’s largest phone maker,to insert its social network into Nokia phones.
