Since the existence of Web 2.0 several social networking sites have been created and in the past five years the figures of people using social networking sites are through the roof. Social networking sites are found to be more than just social networking sites; they are a part of everyday society as technology continues to develop. The sites are endless and the popular ones include Facebook, Skype, Bebo, and Twitter just to name a few.
Positive Points:
1. Sites like Skype offer a free video service where you can see anyone around the world which would be good for companies and for social pleasure
2. Sites as popular as Facebook which millions of people use are used for social pleasure to contact friends and is a great advertisement method to make money for companies.
3. Sites like Wikipedia can be good to find out information as it’s a descriptive page but also Youtube can be good for watching videos of anything you’d like.
Negative Points:
1. Social Networking sites can be dangerous as you could be talking to people you’ve never met who could be a danger to society and individuals.
2. Personal information is on these sites so you’re very exposed to the world.
3. People have lost their jobs through videos they’ve posted on youtube or stuff they’ve posted on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter and have damaged the individuals reputation and image.
Web 2.0 and soicla networking sites will continue to expand therefor important factors like these need to be conisdered before using.
