We believe that socail networking sites have a very positive effect on social capital. Myspace and Facebook allows you to keep in touch with close friends, family, and old friends. Facebook and Myspace have a huge effect on socail capital because it allows you to become better friends with the people you only 'sorta knew' before. By using these websites you can also become friends with your friends' friends in turn expanding socail capital even more. These websites allow us to have another form of communication other than phones. In this day in age almost everyone has a facebook or myspace page which makes communication possible with almost everyone.

  1. This is really interesting to me because i've never heard this side of "facebook social capital" before. I feel like what you say is partly true, but social capital is probably decreased by face book because how many facebook friends do you even talk to?
