In recent years people have been moving away from discussion message boards and forums and moving toward peer networking tools such as face book. These sites allow users to contact people in there area and all over the world and share their life with them. This is becoming more and more popular in the era of digital communication. The global village has been made smaller through the use of e-mail and the new standard from networks like face book have made this village even smaller. This is why the trend in social networking has gone this direction. People want to be able to communicate with friends all over the world in real time and share pictures and memories to keep everyone connected.
