Benefits of Social Networking – The Lovers and Haters
Social networking has two sides.
On the one side it can provide an easy way to keep up relationships with family and friends. It can also provide you with the opportunity to develop new relationships which can be fun, heartfelt and lead to meaningful relationships.
Social media is also enabling online communities to form and provide better services, support and information than any one expert can do on their own. A great example of community corroboration is Wikipedia.
There is also a positive side for business, providing an excellent way to reach and communicate with customers. Customers can comment and spread the word. Even the best advertising can’t compete with a personal recommendation.
On the other side it can be a problem that causes constant distraction, self-centred mindset, ignorance to others, lack of real-world social interaction, social masking of who you really are, gossip, stalking and even feelings of obligation to respond or post.
People have different ways of connecting to others, at work, school, and traditional real-world social event and now online as well. None can be judged better or worse. They all have benefits and drawbacks.| Archived Blogs |
