Community

What is community? A community, to me, is a place where people with something in common can come relate and interact with each other. Each community is different in that the culture and the members of the community are different. Facebook is a great example of community. Not only is Facebook as a whole a community, but there are interest groups and organization page's you can "like" and be a part of. The social capital you get from Facebook is huge! There is an endless supply of connections you can make. Facebook is every where! You can connect through so many different modes on the internet through your Facebook account. You can link YouTube, Skype, Twitter, and you can even "like" your favorite websites. You can hardly go to a website now and not see a Facebook button on the page somewhere. They may even show you who (people you may or may not know) have "liked" the site via Facebook. The sense of community through Facebook is really, simply amazing.
