ProCon.org. "Social Networking ProCon.org" ProCon.org. 22 Mar. 2013. Web. 1 Apr. 2013. <http://socialnetworking.procon.org/>. This website's purpose is to argue weather or not social media is helpful or harmful to society. The site is primarily a statistics site it gives pros and cons as to why social media is harmful and helpful. The site list a pro and then list the con of that pro right next to it. I used this site to include statistics in my blog for both sides of the argument. This website was extremely helpful for me. I was able to find statistics to support my claim that social media is more helpful than harmful.

Web. 01 Apr. 2013. This website is a social media blog much like mine. The site argues both sides of the argument and allows people to voice their opinion for either side. I used the site to support make a claim stating that social media can be helpful to business and to those trying to keep in touch with others.  I don't think this site was as helpful for me as others were but I did find that business information helpful.



http://www.parentfurther.com/technology-media/social-networking/benefits "Benefits of Online Social Networking." Home. N.p., n.d. Web. 01 Apr. 2013. This article makes the claim that social media is indeed helpful to society.This article list many ways that social media is helpful rather than harmful.I think what is a important part of this article is that it proves that social media can indeed be helpful to kids! The article list things such as, gaining social confidence,and keeping in touch with families as reasons why social media is helpful. This article even suggest that social media is helpful in school. It states that teachers often use social networking to create blogs(oh the irony!), discussion forms, videos and more. 
I found the source very helpful because it proves my claim that social media is indeed more helpful than harmful!
