New York Times- Friday September 23rd 2011

It was interesting to see an article on the growth of Facebook. As its recent changes have been apparent to all of its users, this is not a technological medium that I perceived would make national news. It caught my eye in the Newspaper because of the many times Facebooks changes have made televised news. I enjoyed the Times giving insight on what Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook had to say, such as the new changes that are happening (an application called Timeline to keep track of your activity over the years on Facebook). On the contrary, it is funny to see what people qualify as news nowadays. A lot of it definitely comes unexpected. For example, there was another story explaining the origin and history of the Hollywood sign. As interesting as I found it, I question how it compares to other, larger scale news stories in the paper.
