#18 - Social Networking

I think social networking has a lot of potential to distribute information, but I'm not sure what kind of information. Unfortunately, all I ever see of social network sites is teenagers in the library so my opionion isn't inclined to be positive. I think my two biggest problems with this type of interaction is: how do you know what this person really is and my personality isn't necessarily the type that connects to people in this anonymous way. Having said that, I certainly learn about a lot of ideas and other things from blogs I read and that is a form (obviously) of social networking - it just seems to be one sided - to me rather than an interaction.
