12/8 - Mashable

A lot of talk on Mashable about Facebook recently and righfully so, Facebook is showing up everywhere. The battle between Facebook and Twitter as the top social network continues as Facebook adopts another one of Twitters fuctions. I don't mind that each company is sort of mirroring one another, it makes both more convenient to use and encourages both to continue new features to keep them ahead of the game. The article about Vin Deisel and the other celebrities was intersting. Basically then discussed what we have in class about how to be successful and how to contiually brand yourself through your networks. It makes sense that Facebook is becoming popular for journalist because generally journalists write about what the public wants to hear. Where better to find out what the public wants than from the public itself on social networking sites like Facebook. Good thinking jounalists..
