I thought everyone knew what a social network was, especially since you really can't get away from them these days [1]. But apparently you guys are on the cutting edge of trends, so give yourselves a pat on the back! Why? Well, a recent report says that 58 percent of worldwide adults surveyed are totally clueless about what a social network is [2]. I know, I know, I'm shocked too.

Even more surprising, a whole 30 percent of Americans couldn't tell you what Myspace or Facebook is [3], let alone describe what Yelp, Loopt [4], or Sonic Living [5] are about, since they are totally oblivious to the popular networking trends! My heart breaks a little to know that a big chunk of our nation's adults still don't understand the joys of Twitter [6], let alone all the great wines that are just waiting to be discovered through one of my social networking faves [7]. I guess I'll have to start a grassroots campaign to educate the social network deprived out there — you know, take it to the streets!
