Social Networking Express

I was looking for social networking sites and how they affect our society and what I found was pretty interesting. The article I found described how social networks like facebook and twitter are the new way of communication. I was pretty amazed when the article said that facebook has 300 million active users and 40 million of those update their site each and every day. It was amazing that people that have gotten social networking sites have quadrupled over the past 4 years. The one interesting thing though, and the main point of the article is that social networking has made business much easier. People with similar interests or similar needs and wants are able to find each other in these social sites and thus can interact with a more diverse base of people. I was a little confused though in the article because it talked about this ASSE group and never really described what they are or what they do. For now I assume that they have something to do with business but I think I will do some more research to figure out what they are and what they do and how social networks have improved them.

If you know who they are or what they do let me know.
