SOCIAL HYPE

It helps us get back in touch with old friends, plan parties and create interest groups, receive updates from our favorite shows and celebrities, and much, much more!

Whether or not you've embraced these new online social environments, chances are, you know at least one person who's a social networking guru - updating their "status" all day long for the entire world to see.

While many users say it's harmless, others have concerns over just how much we share online.

Watch the News Hour Monday, April 20th and Tuesday, April 21st for our special series "Social Hype", a look at the 'need' to update.
