Op-ed: Cowherd: Looking at life through the prism of Facebook

This op-ed column, published on March 2 in the Austin American Statesman, was about a columnist who recently joined Facebook.

Kevin Cowherd, columnist for the Baltimore Sun, spoke of how the social networking site is a new way to waste time.

I liked how he made the column personal by talking about his experience on Facebook and that of his children. Some of the remarks he made were funny too. However, one thing that might have improved the column is statistical data. Maybe he could have included statistics regarding the age range of Facebook users, or the amount of people on Facebook in one hour. In all, it was a good slice of life column.
