I've decided to change my topic to how much people and major corporations have become dependent on social networking sites to perform their daily functions. Gone are the days when people picked up a newspaper for news or kept a planner for birthdates, events, and reminders. Now you can open up one website and all this is available at your fingertips.
People go to Facebook to know what their friends are doing, to remember their birthdays, and even find out who is officially in a relationship with someone. I can't even count how many times I've heard "It's not official until it's on Facebook." Really? Have social networking sites really taken such an important role in our lives? The answer is most likely, YES. People even put the faith in sites such as eHarmony.com or Match.com to find their true love.
Major corporations are relying on these websites also. If you take a look at the data on Alexa.com you can see just how realistic this idea is. Many major corporations get a lot of thier traffic from social networking sites such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. Yes I do consider google to be a social networking site. With all it's amazing options such as email, chat , buzz, etc. how could it not be considered one? Either way, if you look at Google's site clickstreams, Facebook is the main site that directs to them followed by other networking sites such as Youtube and Twitter. Through my research I really hope to find how dependant people and corporations are on sites like this.
