Review: This research seeks to measure if there has been any changes in use or perception of Facebook as a Social Network Profile (SNP). To do this the researchers surveyed random undergraduate students throughout 2006(n=288), 2007(n=468) and 2008(n=419). Also in depth interviews were conducted to a subset of the survey participants. Three dimensions were measured to test if there has been change in use or perception of Facebook: reported use, perception of audience and attitude towards Facebook (eg. Privacy settings, daily use and social use.) The authors found that throughout the data collection period users perception and usage didn't change much even when the platform had undergone many changes. One of the constant trends showed that that users tend to be more active on their SNP when offline social context is in flux.
