Hopkin Green Frog

When I read the assignment I had no idea what Hopkin Green Frog was. I was very surprised when I found out what it was. Hopkin Green Frog was a stuffed animal, lost by his owner. The autistic boy who owned it made a flier in hopes that this would help him locate his frog. It was found and posted to the Internet and since has become a very popular post. I googled Hopkin Green Frog and found so much! I went to www.lostfrog.org and was surprised to see people wearing lost frog t-shirts, a Jerry Springer episode about it, and some other photos surrounding this phenomenon. A lot of the ideas about what a social network can be seen in this situation. Everyone involved in creating or viewing this material is a node and the network that ties everyone is the fascination over this boy's lost frog.
