Throughout the past decade or more, people are using the internet in order to accomplish anything. Whether they online shop, find directions, or find scores for the latest football games, the internet continues to rise as the greatest universal source that can be offered. Anything can be done on the internet. However, it is not just finding information that makes the internet useful. Its benefits can assist people with interests such as writing. Lately, the inventions of blogs and social networking have impacted the world greatly, mainly the social networking systems known as Facebook and Myspace. It is rare to find an American college student who does not have an account to one of these two social networking systems. In some cases, a student will be members to both websites.
Facebook and Myspace have taken the world by storm. Its way of keeping students in touch with each other keeps people coming and inviting friends to experience what the person is experiencing. Also, people have options to tell about themselves such as interests and other things of that nature as well as being given web space to write about whatever fills their mind that day. People give this web space the title “Blogs,” which people use to express personal opinions to be up for opinion or to just get their ideas.
There are also websites that specialize in blogs. One just signs up and the website gives him or her web space that can be used to give ideas out. These people debate anything from politics to religion, or whatever fills up ones mind. People will discuss ones blog and they will generate debates. Many people enjoy this and people will discuss as a hobby. Whether it is Facebook, Myspace, or another website which promotes blogging, people will use it to discuss with each other and debate certain issues.
However, there are similarities between social networking and blogging. The difference is that social networking has blogging, but more. There is more to Facebook and Myspace than blogging. People use it to keep in touch. College students use it in order to keep track of friends lost throughout the high school to college transition. There are comment sections that people will use to see what other people are doing and how life is going. Blogs on the other hand are used to debate. They are used to get views across without the tools that Facebook and Myspace have to contact with people.
Social networking and blogging are two means of communication that are taking over the internet and people. It has given people ways to get points across and have constant debate. Social Networking allows people to keep in contact with each other. Its impact is unprecedented because it is rare not to find somebody not involved in a social networking or blogging website. Also, it is convenient because everything can be done right at the comfort of the home computer. With convenience like that, there is no sign of the rise of both social networking and blogs to stop.

You did a fair job of cover the pros and cons and the similarities between blogging and social networking. It was a good summary of the facts and was easy to read despite some redundancies in argument.
