Comments on: Online social networking as an academic discipline http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2007/12/16/online-social-networking-as-an-academic-discipline/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea.

They reveal patterns of society and how people interact with each other. I have looked at the gaming aspect of these websites. Facebook, Youtube, and others loosely follow game theory, but enough to be considered games. From this perspective, the impact and influence of social networks on the world today can be clearly seen.

Much like current social media trends themselves.
