I found this article that finally voted in favor of social networks. Every article I have read so far have shown the negative effects of social networking. This article I found is from the BBC news website.
It talks about research findings from Cambridge, which I think we all know is a pretty prestigious school. Their findings show that Facebook actually helps relationships by enhancing storing biography and enhancing social memory. Many people try to use it to check up on ex patners or track people they like. They find that people can gain more info from Facebook than a phone call or something like that. Also they can keep in touch with people they have lost contact with wich can rekindle old relationships.
This is interesting because although I do see how you can gain more information from looking at someone through facebook, I also believe it is not the same as having a face to face conversation. Face to face convos are more personal and therefore I think are why social networks are not as good.
