Human Network Getting Bigger and….Grayer?


Today, the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project report that “the share of adult internet users who have a profile on an online social network site has more than quadrupled in the past four years—from 8% in 2005 to 35% now.” 

My own social networking experience attests to this stat, as I am now Facebook friends with my across-the-street neighbor growing up in Misenheimer, NC…and the stats further are proven by the fact that I am also FB friends with his son and daughter (my contemporaries).  I now have mini-communities of friends, it seems, from each phase and/or job of my life…including a few from kindergarten!!
