SAGE News Clips: Role of Facebook in SocietyDescription: In August 2015, one billion people logged into Facebook in one single day. This video examines the expanding role of Facebook in the social lives of its users from party invitations to joining interest groups. Dan Ackerman, editor at CNET, discusses how Facebook's integration with other websites and services--such as dating service Tinder--has expanded Facebook's reach into users' personal lives.
