facebook and myspace

Social networking is a great way to connect to other people for a variety of reasons. It connects you to your friends and co-workers as well as theirs. Different people or company's use social networking in different ways. Some use it as a social tool others use it as a bridge in to a business community. Either way social networking has been very beneficial to today's society.

Many company's believe that marketing their products on social networks such as Myspace is more effective then a traditional advertisement. The embracement of the new social networking advertisements is brought from the belief that "30 percent of frequent social networkers trust their peers' opinions when making a major purchase decision, but only 10 percent trust an advertisement," said by Emily Riley, JupiterResearch analyst and lead author of the report. In order to attract attention from the market, advertisers must make their page interesting by using all the tools that the social network provides.

Another way to use social networks is for out own personal/professional development. They are a very productive and practical way to connect with current colleagues or to find others who share your interests. They can also help you create and build your online reputation and find new resources and ideas.

Social networking is helping people everyday in all different ways, either personal or business. Hopefully this new idea broadens even more and enhances its ability to give out opportunities and for others just enjoy. Social networking has done exactly what it set out to do, connect people with people.
