The Topic of My Conversation: Social Networking

Our group chose the topic of social networking and focused on the book, Go Tweet Yourself, by Janelle Randazza. She negatively judges the social networking sites and tells the readers her reasons for it. The book has a lot of sarcastic humor and I found myself agreeing with her most of the time.

It is now a time where even your grandmother owns a Facebook. Everybody has access to everyone else. Social networking is another way of communication between your family, friends, and even people you haven't met yet.

Erik Hanberg

Erik Hanberg has multiple occupations, such as being an author, executive director for the City Club of Tacoma, etc. He talked about the Black swan theory and how it can strike anybody at anytime. He also talked about the Red Paperclip and how a man traded a red paperclip in for a house. I think that Erik Hanberg is inspirational in the fact that he is able to be whatever he wants to be and able to take risks.
