The First Post for Web Presence

This is the first post of this class.

It's all about communication.  Isn't that what gets people in such a tizy about the internet, the web, social networking, and all the stuff that is related to it? People say there's something 'wrong' with all the time we're spending on online, and someone it's making us spend us time with each other.  Is this true? Am I losing connection with people because I'm so connected online.  I do stop and think about this often, because people are recognising this as a new phenomenon.  But right now I'm taking a class in which I have to write a post, and talk about social networking.  In fact, social networking does get the word out there for a lot of events.  I invite my friends to parties through facebook, and they know to come.  Does facebook get recognized for that? Or is it only criticised?
