Thesis for Essay 2

If I use facebook, my thesis will be, "Facebook, even though it has its significant dangers, is a wonderful application that connects many different types of people together while creating a sense of community online." I might change that a bit when I actually write my essay.

If I use Pandora, my thesis will be, "Pandora, or the music genome project, is a great way to discover new music, listen to one's favorite music, and learn about music in general." Again, I might change that a bit if I use this thesis.

    I think Pandora might be a more interesting topic because it is different than what the rest of the group is doing. I recently learned that you can link your pandora radio stations to your facebook. so maybe you can integrate facebook a little into the pandora topic. I think you need to make more of an argument and be more specific.

    I am with Kat - I think Pandora would be a more focused community with a more narrow focus and goal (to share music). Keep your argument focused on language and the ways the members of the group use communication (via text, images, music, videos, etc.) to perform and build identity and build community.

    Can't wait to see what you come up with.

    Both are good options, but I recently accessed Pandora and was very impressed. Good luck.

    I think that both are good options, but you will do a good job on which ever one you decide to do.
