@MUlippy I don't like posting on fb anymore because I know that EVERYONE will see what I post, even people that I never see or talk to anymore...I agree that it is easier to talk on twitter rather than d2L. I feel more connected to someone when I can see a profile of them

[Jess Lapp @jess_lapp]

@jenny_hersh There are fewer "safe places" for teens to hang out. Most businesses do not want teens hanging around their stores/businesses

@cmallen21 Social media will probably look MUCH different in 10 years!

first impressions: While social media can be addicting for some teens, it can also be a way for teens to connect with their peers and let their opinions be known #EDFN

"The difference in audience—and how people on each site responded to his sharing—shaped his understanding of Facebook and Twitter. Whenever Manu posted something on Facebook, he felt that he was forcing everyone he’d ever met to consume it." p.204 Boyd) #everyonehasfb #EDFN

"flâneurs—individuals who came to the streets not to go anywhere in particular but in order to see and be seen...the flâneur is neither fully an exhibitionist nor fully a voyeur at any moment, but a little of both all the time"p.203 #EDFN #internetflaneurs

"Through social media, they build networks of people and information. As a result, they both participate in and help create networked publics." p.201 (Boyd) #networking #EDFN

"Many of the teens that I met—both in Pennsylvania and else- where—craved the freedoms that Emily had. They were desperate for the opportunity to leave their homes to gather with friends." p.200 (Boyd) #smalltownproblems #EDFN

@skilton_anna I honestly am not sure that a postracial society is possible. I do think society can change for the better and I hope to see a change in my lifetime

[Jess Lapp @jess_lapp]

@skilton_anna Unfortunately, I do think that today's youth (myself included) are not as involved in political life and community as we should be. #weshoulddobetter

@Mlsanto80335703 If only more people used social media to encourage and build up rather than tearing people down...its crazy to think how different social media could be

[Jess Lapp @jess_lapp]

first impression: We all know that Social media can be used for good or bad. We should start appreciating and rewarding good behavior online instead of always focusing on the bad behavior. #EDFN

"Today our social media experiences are designed in a way that favors broadcasting over discussions."(Ghonim) 9:48 #beopentodiscussion #EDFN
