Journal numba 6

So, Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Guess how I found out? Facebook.

First thing I saw when I logged on this morning was my friends' status, almost all of which were about Obama winning the prize. From my newsfeed I was able to see the opinions of many of my FB friends as well as find links to articles from all different viewpoints and view the conversations my friends were having with their friends/mutual friends. It was really interesting -- it was like there was such a great diversity of information and opinion that I never would have encountered if not for Facebook, including some of the changes they've made that I initially disliked. Makes me think.
