More Connectivity

As it is Halloween, I thought I would do something related. As me and my friends were looking up haunted houses, we discovered "Thirteen Floors" through Stumbleupon. After going onto the website, it prompted us to connect with them through Twitter and Facebook. Of course we didn't do this because it would of turned into spam on our accounts. Haunted houses are only good once a year so no need for reminders everyday. However, I have down this with other websites such as an animal research site that learns information on black bears. After finding this website, I began to follow a black bear and her cub named Lily and Hope. These researchers take video and pictures and then upload them onto facebook. Because I am connected to facebook, I am now connected to this random bear couple in Montana. Without this social networking, I would have no idea about these bears, or the research done on them. Facebook and other social networking sites not only keeps me connected to people but to a plethora or educational information.
