There are hundreds of social networking sites in cyberspace
and you can become a member in any of them. Is it a fad? A lot of people say
this is not so because it is the best way right now to connect people with the
same or similar interests regardless of your age and gender.
Connecting people is achieved by putting yourself out there.
This means creating an account and telling a little bit about yourself which is
like introducing yourself in front of the class. With other features like
blogging tools, uploading photos, videos and music, joining forums and writing
comments, you get to personalize it and tell people more about who you are
which is something that a lot of people appreciate.
But perhaps another reason why social networking sites are
so popular and have thousands of members is the fact that it is free. You can
post just about anything online as long as it is not pornographic although some
social networking sites allow that.
It is also very popular among entrepreneurs because they are
able to use it to promote their business. Although there are other means to do
that, why pay for it when you can advertise for free while you are a member.
To stress that point, one study shows that 41% of the
members of a certain social networking site are IT professionals. These
individuals use it to gain business contacts and gain knowledge about
technology.
