32. More on Social Networks . . . “ When I was in sixth grade, I was crazy about the girl who sat next to me, but I didn't think she could possibly have the same feelings about me. When Mrs. Green changed everyone's seats, the girl sent me a note through an intermediary, Sherry, who was now sitting next to me. The note said, "Do you like me?" I turned around and saw her sheepishly smiling. After recovering from a brief but intense panic attack, I sent back a note that told her I did. Ah, first love!” “Last week I got another note from her. This time the intermediary was not Sherry, though. It was Facebook .” “ Facebook is affecting my life in ways I wouldn't have imagined just a few short months ago. ” “ When you think about the metrics that matter most to people -- audience reach, composition and engagement -- you realize that there is no site in the world that will be able to compete with Facebook in delivering results!” Kevin Mannion, On-Line Publishing, February , 2009
