Social Networking: A Love-Hate Relationship



               Facebook and other social networking sites have some pros and cons. Facebook is addicting but it is a book of your life. Anyone can read it and find out anything about you. Many use it to find "true love" but you never will because many create fake accounts to find little kids so that they can kidnap them. But there are some advantages to social sites. Socialnetworking.procon.org has been created just to list the pros and cons of sites such as, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. The website also lists some interesting and creepy facts as well. 

Some of the facts include:
                
“43% of online sexual solicitors were identified as being adolescents (under 18), 30% were adults between the ages of 18 and 21, and 9% were adults over the age of 21 (as of Dec. 31, 2008).”

“Social networking and blogging sites accounted for 17% of all time spent on the Internet in Aug. 2009, nearly three times as much as in 2008.”
