Read these reviews of two books about social media:

• Geert Lovink, Networks Without a Cause: A Critique of Social Media (heads-up to the easily offended—the review is on a site called “Bookslut”)
• Jacob Silverman, Terms of Service: Social Media and the Price of Constant Connection

Then write a blog response based on these readings and on your own experiences with social media. Some possible issues and approaches:

• Do you recognize your own experiences in the claims of these books (or of the reviewers)?
• Do you take any steps to avoid some of the pitfalls these writers suggest?
• What do you use social media for—and does it give you what you want?
• Have your own social media habits changed since you came to UGA?
