1. The summary of this article is that police are starting to use social media to help fight crime and solve cases. Not only have they already been using Facebook and twitter but they are starting to use Pinterest and YouTube as well.
2. This article stuck out to me because usually when you hear about social media it has nothing to do with good things and the law it is usually always bullying or someone scamming people for money.
3. I think this shows that social media can be helpful to police to help find out where people are or find out where items are that someone has stolen.

1.This is actually a video that talks about how social media is ruining our lives and how social we really are.
2. This article stuck out to me because there aren't a lot of young people that think social media is bad for you, we are usually the ones that are using it all the time.
3. This says that social media is bad and is ruining our lives. I don't really agree with this article. It isn't a bad thing if you are on it every once in awhile. It is a good way to connect with people and learn new things. The only time when it's bad is if it isn't being used for the right reasons or if it is used too much. I don't know how some people can be on it for hours. I like to get out and see the world.

1. This article is about investors and their investments in social sites. They were talking about Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. They said Facebook is more stable business wise and that a lot of people are hesitating to invest in twitter because it lacks growth.
2. This article stuck out to me because not a lot of people talk about social media in the stock market. So many people just take it for granted and forget to remember that these are actual business with corporations and investors, not just a fun site that they like.
3. This proves that social media sites don't just pop up on their own. They need programmers, fresh ideas, money, advertising, and investors to get started. Just to start it. The social media business is tough because you have to compete with up and coming things, so companies need to be on your toes.
