Final Learning Blog Unit#2
Choosing the popular genre of Facebook to do for my groups research project seemed like a very easy one to perform an experiment on. Considering the fact that it is widely testable, and widely used in our society by almost everyone! I was very positive that making two "out-of-the-ordinary" groups and inviting our peers to it will cause an instant reaction. However, I was shocked to notice that there were almost no reactions! I also learned that there are always going to be limitations to everything. We then made a status after the week of research on each of my two group members' Facebook pages, that wanted the opinion of the use of language on Facebook. We only received input on one of them which was the more formal event member. Throughout our project overall, I have realized that our society in little aspects to intently react to change but not too drastically as we expected.

It is pretty interesting. Sometimes, research "fails," but we learn something from it. I think that the overall idea of your project was a great one. Looking back now, there's also ways to strengthen in order to get better, testable results. I think it's partly what I said in class, that people just don't respond to invites they aren't sure about. There's no "polite no" with facebook invites--which is an interesting norm in and of itself.
