Social Media & Web 2.0

1. I don't think professional production values will drop. For example there is a huge difference between Avatar and an amateur documentary. They serve different purposes and audiences. Because of YouTube amateur video has a new appeal that isn't discredited because of poor production value. Regardless, I believe with new technology amateur's videos will get better but the gap between professional and amateur will remain apparent.

2. I use Facebook the most and Twitter frequently. I use Facebook the most because it's where all my friends and family are so I communicate with them through the convenience of Facebook. Facebook is more successful than Myspace because the website design and speed on the web is vastly superior. Myspace used to drag, lag and freeze. Also, Facebook has everything you need in one place so why go anywhere else?

Facebook is here to stay. When Facebook messaging comes out it's email may even replace Gmail and other popular email websites.

3. Transparency is important to keep people honest on the web. If there isn't transparency then the anonymity will empower people to run their mouths in negative ways that they would not do in public, real life.

It's less important in real life because people physically and socially represent themselves by how they present themselves and how they speak.
