It's amazing how fast Friendster and Facebook have changed in the past few years. The 2 articles that we read on these sites for this week were recently published (or are in press), yet the nature of these sites has changed significantly since this research was done. If social networking sites are still new and evolving quickly, how useful are these observations? Will social networking sites continue on this path of constant internal change, or will there be a leveling off at some point when the novelty of the tool is not so intriguing?
Relating social networks to my research question, I wonder if there are teachers out there who are using social networks for professional connections? I will have to explore LinkedIn to see if there are teachers connecting professionally via online networks. Also, would there be a benefit for teachers to use social networking sites to connect with supplemental education providers to discover curriculum opportunities for students?
