CMNS 253: Society and New Media

Hello, my name is Jordan and I from Vancouver, BC. I am in the first year of the CultureNet program at Capilano University. I am taking Communications 253, Society and New Media, simply because I enjoyed the last communications course I took (it also worked out that this is a mandatory course next semester for CultureNet). I think I will like this class but I am worried about its "writing intensive" designation.

I have chosen to examine social networking sites in this blog, Facebook in particular just because I actually use it.

Here is a good 60 Minutes episode about Facebook:
