I am ambivalent about this thing called Social Media. On one hand, it's great to know that you can come to one location and peruse these sites for all your media and news-related needs. On the other hand, there are so much information, and you have to wade through the sources to determine which ones you prefer or which ones are credible/reliable. Therefore, on a personal level, these websites can enhance your productivity because they serve as tools to bring together various sources and articles. I also like the fact that you can provide your own comments, share articles with "friends" on your account, and manipulate your account to best suit your needs. On a professional or research level, they can serve as a detractor because you have to spend time determining what is credible/reliable.
These tools can be used as a bank to store pertinent articles in one location, and users can communicate with each other (recommending, commenting, etc.). On that note, I did end up reading two articles. The first focused on whether or not television and DVD programming affected the cognitive and traditional progressive (ie - talking and developing words) development of babies. The second article discussed the trial and the judgement of a Harry Potter actor's (Character: Marcus Belby) murderer.
