    This document discusses the differences between trends and fads. Trends are emerging phenomena that last a long time and influence the future, while fads are short-lived bursts of popular interest. Trends rise slowly in popularity over many years and have a long lifespan, while fads emerge and disappear quickly, rising rapidly in popularity but only existing for a short time. Examples given are that Friendster was likely a fad that disappeared quickly, while Facebook has lasted many years and could be considered a trend. The document instructs the reader to observe what they think is currently trending in their community and to analyze if specific social networks were trends or fads based on their lifespan and popularity patterns.
