Free Writing; Social Media Video

I guess one of the things that came as a surprise about this video was that social networking is now the most popular thing on the Internet. I knew that high schoolers love Facebook and Twitter and Youtube, but I didn't know it was so across the board.
Another thing is that, if Facebook were a country, it would be the fourth largest country in the world. The number of people that use Facebook regularly will only continue to grow over time, until Tumblr or Twitter make it to the mainstream (or when they target the youth more so than they do now).
Also, I didn't know that there were 13 million (I think) entries on Wikipedia, or that it was more reliable than the Encyclopedia Britanica. Teachers always tell us that it's very unreliable and that we are not allowed to use it as a source for projects, however I always do, and usually do pretty well on the assignment.
