I started my search with the idea from Sweeney's article based on Social Networking. My first word was Network from which I branched off in an interesting way that can be seen in the clouds that I came up with:

| Network |
With Network I found built networks as well as networks through telephones and the internet paired with also something as natural as the network of veins on a leaf. From here I moved onto Friendship.

| Friendship |
Directly following what I think of the social networks that I use daily, like Facebook, friendship came to me as an incorporated idea with network. From friendship I branched off to Intimacy.
 |
| Intimacy |
There is an intimacy that comes from creating a friendship. I am interested in this connection that people make between one-another through different kinds of relationships. Something that comes out of creating an intimate connection is the sharing of secrets.

| Secrets |
Coming to the idea of secrecy in relationships brings in the idea of privacy. Privacy is a problem that pops up constantly within the use of social networks. How many people will you allow to see your profile? What kinds of things will you post on your profile? I was surprised at how through the connecting words I was able to come at a conclusion that I am interested in human nature and relationships but also relates directly to issues concerning the original Big Idea.
I liked the networking cloud a lot. Seeing how networking related to both people and nature was interesting. I was also intrigued by the secrets cloud. Interesting that most of the images are of children, which prompts me to question just what the childlike quality of secrets is.
