12. Social Media Sites

The sites like Mixx, Newsvine, Reddit, etc. could be used for a variety of reasons such as research, keeping up on world events or politics, and just personal interests. They are very easy to work with. I found the area for saving to sites on the news/information pages, and did save a few articles. It would be easy to get sidetracked when searching, so I think they could enhance productivity and/or detract at times. I have read articles that I have scanned through on the sites. I thought Newsvine was great.
