FTER GIANTS SUCH AS YAHOO, YOUTUBE, Windows Live, and Google, can you name the fifth-most-visited Web site on the Internet? If you guessed eBay.com, the huge auction site, you would be wrong; it is number 23. If you thought it was Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, that would be incorrect as well; it ranks number 9. How about Amazon.com? No, that is number 43. Microsoft.com? Wrong again; that is actually ranked number 18. The correct answer is the social networking site MySpace.com; and its competitor Facebook.com is close behind at number 6. In fact, four of the 10-most-visited Web sites are dedicated to social networking, with MySpace and Facebook being the two most popular on the Internet.1Social networking Web sites are quickly becoming cornerstones of the Internet experience, at least for the younger generations, and it is no different for Adventists. As increasing numbers of youth flock to these sites and create online communities of their own, Adventist churches and schools are beginning to recognize the important role this medium is playing in the lives of their members and students.
