SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES

Introduction:-

Social media is an ongoing conversation - the social media audience has an opinion, “making it a two-sided affair.”
(Atchinson, 2009)

“By providing feedback, you acknowledge that your community exists and has a valid opinion, and that you value them as more than just customers; you value them enough to empower them with a voice. Once empowered, your community member is far more likely to become a brand loyalist than the one who feels she has been lighted, even if the original feedback was negative.” (Powell, 2009: 2)

Social networking sties (henceforth SNS) are where the individuals assemble or gather together into a specific group. It is the most popular online social network (henceforth OSN) as it is easily available and possible for a individual to access at workplace, university, colleges, ETC. the reason behind this high schools, colleges, workplace are places where internet is used by millions of individuals who try to meet different people, to share, gain, discuss, debate their experiences and information on an number of topics.
Websites are commonly used when we say OSN. This websites are known as social sites. This social networking websites work as online community of internet uses. Members of community make use of this websites on sharing information and knowledge on common interest topics like religion, politics.

There are many benefits to make friends on OSN. This includes diversity because internet gives individuals from all around the world access to SNS. It means that even if you are in London you can easily make and maintain friendship with some one in India. This relationship can also add knowledge about two different cultures, language. SNS often involves combination of specific individuals or organizations. There are numbers of social networking websites that focus on a particular interest. The websites without the main focus are referred as “traditional” social networking websites which usually have open memberships.

As one must be aware of the dangers related with SNS like data theft and viruses which is increasing now a days. The most common danger is using hypothetical email accounts as in online user who claims to be someone that they are not. This danger is as similar as the danger exist in the real world like meeting strangers at clubs, cinema house ETC. It will take many phone conversations to get to know someone, but you really won't be able to make a clear judgment until you can meet each other in person.

  2. as you said its a revision of project, in that case its ok. but a blog shud be blog if u want to make that popular. i dont know whats ur purpose behind this. so i cant say u r on right track or not. as you know people blog , bcoz they want to share their opinions. if u want to make it popular u shud make it interesting, like the stories we read on news paper or see on tv news channels. some people write poem for publishing and some write poem for their own happiness they dont try to send it for publishing. if u want to carry this blog for long term then u have to make it interesting and u wil hav to work to connect more and more people to it.
    Best wishes
