Each of my sources are peer reviewed articles that I found in the USCA library database. Each source contains vital information on my research paper, Facebook IM in the community. I plan to dissect each article and use the most valuable information to complete my research project.

Facebook IM
Facebook is growing as we speak. From beginning with the networking of Harvard students only to the international networking of people around the world. During the course of my research I plan to study the amount of time spent on just Facebook instant messaging, and how it affects the average college student behavior and their community. IM slang is a popular terminology used with instant messaging. It sometimes can affect a person’s proper writing skills but also their way to articulate responsive conversation. Proving that Facebook instant messaging is not a complete waste of time and that it is beneficial not only to college students, but also to politicians, musicians, and families.
Instant messaging is just another form of communication. With texting and emailing being two of the biggest form of technological communicators, instant messaging especially Facebook IM is becoming the third link to communication. Facebook IM is extremely important. One has the ability to access and Facebook from the home computer and their mobile phone. Some cell phones are synced to recognize an incoming IM to let the holder of the cell phone respond. Not only is it important to typical college students it is important to all. During the 2008 presidential campaign a lot of the democrats and republicans created either a personal account or a group to boost their reputation and popularity. Musicians become users with the knowing of Facebook’s recognition, therefore are able to add links to there official page with lists of tour dates, biographies and photos.
Facebook is important. Facebook is all in the eye of the beholder. Users are more understanding to the benefits such as my topic; IM. Even though it can affect college student behavior it’s such luxury for us.

The Pleasures of Text (Blog # 6)
Technology has grown dramatically over the past ten years. From computer emails, instant-messaging, cell phone, to text messaging are all forms of communication that most people use everyday. As the communication industry is expanding it is effecting the way we use our language with others. In today's generation I can notice myself the way we speak to one another whether that is coming up with certain verbs to explain something or shorting words.
The way we speak to one another today is mostly a trend. Saying "wad up" or "word" meaning Okay or that's cool. It doesn't so much affect our relationships with family and friends, but after doing so much texting it can get to you when you have to sit down to write a formal paper. I notice these affects while writing in class or writing a paper. We are so used to these because the terminology is short, simple and cuts back on time.
