Topic Selection

The growth of social networking has happened so rapidly that it could be called an explosion. Social networking now affects nearly every part of life, from how we spend our free time to whom we call "friends." As people shift their attention from traditional locations to social networking sites, how to market products and services successfully will also undergo change.

1. Select a topic for you paper that pertains to the effects of social networking on marketing.

2. Provide a written statement of approximately 200-250 words that includes the topic you chose and your rationale for why the topic would be appropriate to research.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
