這個週末你打算做什麼？您可能會瀏覽你的Facebook、Twitter、MySpace和其他社交網站查看最新動態。像這類的網站已經讓推銷員受惠，藉此向數以百萬計熱中派對的夥伴們，展示他們的活動，使他們得知一週的熱門活動。這也使得邀請你最愛的人來參加私人聚會變得超簡單，因為邀請訊息會顯示在他們的社交網頁、電子郵件或手機。這讓我們多一個途徑，可以連絡到所有有趣夥伴來參加週末的活動……「也許但並不一定」。
對話範例：
(週末計畫) 斯柏跟米莉正在為這個周末計畫活動並找些事情做。讓我們來聽聽他們的對話吧。
米莉：所以，這個週末要幹嘛呢？
卡斯柏：我正在看Facebook，看來有一個泳池派對，有音樂會，還有一些歡樂時光和幾場DJ秀。
米莉：嗯，你有聽說那個在市中心的藝術與音樂表演嗎？
卡斯柏：沒有，我沒聽說。那是什麼？
米莉：那是一個為颱風災民舉辦的募款活動。街頭藝人將會做一些表演，以及雷馬會有一個現場演出。
卡斯柏：雷馬？？我愛這個樂團!為什麼我不知道有這個活動？
米莉： 嗯，我想他們只有在報紙上打廣告。那是我得知這活動的地方。
卡斯柏：真的，他們應該要用Facebook。我打賭一定會有更多人參加。
(Culture) Social Media Rules The Weekend
What do you plan to do this weekend? You will likely check your Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and other social media to see what is going on. Sites like these have been boons to promoters as a way to showcase their events to millions of party people looking for the hot spots of the week. It also makes inviting your favorite people to a private get-together super easy, as the invitation will show up on their media page, email, and possibly their cell phone. Its just one more way to reach out to all those fun people who will be attending your event this weekend..... Maybe.
Dialogue Example:
