Background knowledge

Before I began my research on my topic, i had some prior knowledge. People are beginning to use Facebook and Twitter to get news out, or to advertise. Facebook has only been out for almost about 9 months and it has over 300 million people registered to their network. Famous artists such as Justin Bieber was discovered on Youtube by other famous artist for many years, Usher. This shows how fast and how much of a big deal social networking is and how much it's inhancing society.
