Though Facebook is just one of many social networking sites, it has unique features that make it more addictive. For example, compared
to Twitter, Facebook requires you to be a friend to another user before you can follow him/her. Facebook also has fan pages for celebrities--- a
feature which twitter does not have. Finally, Facebook has filters. For example, Edgerank automatically monitors your activity ad filters content
posted by your friends which might not be interest. Nevertheless, both Twitter and Facebook allow real-time interactions and reconnection with
friends.

Graphic Organizer:

“ It’s not over until you succeeded ”
