While I was researching, research alter my thesis statement. Therefore, I need to research more to focus on altered thesis statement. Book is the very first one that I have to find in order to complete research, and then assessing it.
I don't think I did well at this time. As Tiffany, my peer-review said, I describes how I the research will be used for paper rather than assess why these research can be authorative.
First I have to decide why I choose those researches.

4/20/2009 Newspaper Article assessment
The newspaper article, "Putting Yourself Out There on a Shelf to Buy" by Alina Tugend in New York Times states people who recently want to get a job makes their image as a brand through social networking site, Facebook. The number of Facebook users are incredibly expanded so that more and more people use it not just as a individual's small garden but a definition who one really is.

4/20/2009 Journal assessment
The journal, "The Newest Way to Screen Job Application: A Social Networker's Nightmare" by Carly Brandenburg from Federal Communication Law Journal can be the support for a research paper about Facebook. It focused on employer's tendency, looking for employee's background in Facebook. It highlights some privacy issue, but it also can be used as an evidence of Facebook's impact on an employment.

4/20/2009 Magazine article assessment
The article "Fogeys Flock to Facebook" by Aaron Ricadela in Business Week Online on Aug/07/07 describes the trends of high-technology people's participation in Facebook. Facebook not only stands for individual user but at the same time, for people in real business world. This article can be the good supports for how facebook helps one's social network, not on the line of person to person, but person and representative of one organization.
4/20/2009 Book assessment
The article "The Technology Slaves (783)" in the book, "Investing Argument" by John Mauk and John Metz states some bad things of technolgy- especially, the internet. The author Ross Wheatley claims people are seriously affected negatively by using internet and what side effects accompany with- financial cost.
It can be used a counter argument of the research paper that claims why people participate to the Facebook. If this article insists financial costs which people spend in order to obtain technology is getting bigger, the reserch paper can say Facebook tends to prevent the wasting of time and financial cost, too.
It will be highlighted on financial cost using internet, and how the Facebook prevents it.

4/9/2009 Wikipedia assessment -Facebook
Description about the Facebook in Wikipedia is detailed and well- orgarnized. In addition, Wikipedia visitors are available to look over information about the Facebook Inc briefly. It is a good start to most of people who want to know about it, yet Wikipedia article is not one hundred percent trust worthy. First, the source of article comes from a knowledgeable individual, not a reliable source such as a research center, an expert, or a government. Second, there is no specific filtering to judge the content of article is true or not. Misinformation in Wikipedia can be fixed by the individual who have right to fix it- usually, the first writer- only when the readers complain about the article. Last, Outdated contents are sometimes in Wikipedia article. Updating have to be occurred frequently, but nobody has a responsibility for it. After reading the discussion, the article of Facebook also includes outdated and wrong information. For example, the number of users and revenue of Facebook are outdated. Moreover, the article said people in Iran are blocked to use Facebook but in a discussion, the Iran user claims that is not true.
For social network and privacy, Criticism part and some Litigation cases can be used. Criticism describes what privacy matter is issued recently, and Litigation specifies what cases have been treated by court until now. The writer states where the source comes from-links it with its original source- so that I can follow and confirm them.

4/5/2009 social networking assessment
-Note details about the entire site & Describe it briefly.
Facebook is the social networking service through the internet. Basically, it provides members a page such as a blog, and each member can make a relationship through the friend request to a person that they want to know. The most new things is that member can make a new relationship even if they don’t know each other well. After that, the status of “Friends” which you have relationships through the Facebook blog is displayed. At a Home screen, members can upload pictures, videos, and some links that they are interested in. Profile menu have wall menu that friends can leave a message, info menu that host’s sex, birthday, e-mail address and education work, and photos menu has pictures that the host upload. Friends menu lists people who have a relationship with me and some people who have common friends with me or common education work but they are not friends with me yet. Inbox menu works like e-mail. Anyone who knows each other can send a message to his or her friend or read it in inbox. Member can search his or her friends easily, typing name or e-mail address. The most interesting thing is that Facebook also have messenger, working only inside of Facebook website. When a member finds his or her friends are connecting Facebook, he or she can talk to a friend in real time through the messenger.
-Assess how it used
Facebook is used broadly for a connection between people and people. In addition, more and more people can get to know each other by its provided tools. The page it gives a member becomes the mean to express him or herself. Then, people open their pages only to the people who are friends. Searching system and “people who you may know” can make people connect a new relationship very easily.
-Assess who used it (based on the other users)
Legally, it is available to whom are 13 years old or older and 18 years old in high school or in college or adults, aged more than 18 years old. Recently, not only individual use it but also business people use it as a representative of their company. Not only US people but also worldwide people join in.
-Assess what it represents to the users
“Connection” is the goal of Facebook’s. It shows what Facebook is made for. A page that Facebook provides is the space in order to express who individual really is, and people have connections by those pages. Posting individual’s feelings, tasks, photos, videos at one’s page, and comment to other pages are all of things that member can do.
-Assess if it’s useful or not (answers the why or why not)
It is very useful in recent lifestyle. People are busy and they can’t afford every people they know. If friends, professors, co-workers, club members, and relatives are in Facebook, people can keep in touch and have a new relationship without extra time. In a short time, the connection can be maintained. Real time chatting can make people do multiple tasks while they talk each other.
-Assess if private information about a user is apparent
Yes, user’s information is clearly displayed in profile menu between friends. The users know each other’s real name, and e-mail address. Of course, there are host’s photos available.
The recent change of Facebook’s policy is criticized harshly. At this point of view, its policy about private information is not appropriate. The most criticized one is that Facebook has a right to all of members’ contents- pictures, videos, and writings- even though member doesn’t want. Surprisingly, Facebook still has a right about past contents after the member termites the service. It means member doesn’t take any benefit at all if Facebook sells some contents and earn money. In addition, Facebook use the contents wherever they want even though member doesn’t agree with it. Protection about private information is required by its users now.
