New assignment: assess "Text Me all about Yourself: The Rise of Mobile Networking"
The author, Clayton Dach, uses this article to praise and note the growth of mobile networking sites such as Twitter. He claims it is a revolutionary and enjoyable service, and many people are starting to use it every day to bother other people with the most banal nuances of their lives, as if other people care. To Clayton Dach, this is a good thing. These services are revolutionizing the world by doing what they do. And the quotes he has taken from other people certainly look like the users are enjoying these services.
However, are these services really revolutionary? Really beneficial? Really a good thing to have? Clayton thinks it is, however he fails to consider the viewpoint of the reciever, whether or not he even cares or wants to recieve these "tweets", and if they're a nuisance or not.

Good assessment. You clearly demonstrate that this new age of mobile networking is not necessary and may become more of a nuisance rather than a benefit.
