What do you know about Social Networking Websites?

Have you heard of Facebook, Hi5, or MySpace? People around the globe prefer to build their profiles on these types of websites to connect to family, friends, and even to someone they barely know. Even the not-so-techie and the not-so-sociable folks are hooked on this not-so-new trend.

Social Networking is a phenomenon. There are hundreds of social networking websites (SNW) that hold up to the interests, needs, and wants of various users. Billions of registered members around the globe understand these sites are a way to connect with people from all backgrounds - scholars, web site developers, long lost friends. Reasons for participating vary from delving into family roots to finding like-minded professionals to collaborate with.

Scholars, Boyd and Ellison define Social Networking Sites “as web-based services that allow individuals to:

(1) Construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system

(2) Articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection

(3) View and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system.”

Their technical view of this term prove that a SNS is not only a means of communicating with others but more importantly a way to express and make oneself visible to his own social network.

Social Networking Websites / The Good Ole Days

Another good explanation of this term is from Daniel Nations on About.com. According to Mr. Nations, “the easiest way to understand social networking is to think of it like high school. You had friends in school, and you knew quite a few people even if you weren't friends with all of them, but it's likely that you didn't know everyone. If you ever moved to a new school -- or if you can imagine moving to a new school -- you most likely start out with no friends. After attending classes, you start meeting people, and as you meet them, you begin associating with those that have similar interests.”

It is interesting to note that Social Networking Websites allow people from different countries throughout the globe, regardless of diverse cultures and distinct individualities, to express themselves and run into those with whom they share similar interests.
SNS are also regarded as a powerful tool for professionals who wish to promote their businesses online. For more ways these sites can help visit the Social Networking benefits page.

These networking communities are known to connect business people online where business owners or companies can take advantage of cross-promotional events and to expand the reach of their current customer base.

Many professionals consider maximizing their advertising resources in Social Networking Sites because of its low cost (there are usually free to join) - a factor that is extremely valuable to business owners and companies.

Robert Jenson of Jenson Group realty firm finds social networking sites an effective instrument in establishing his credibility as a real estate guru. Aside from having his own blog, he takes into account that SNSs “serves as a stress-reliever for both prospective consumers and business affiliates, while also increasing chances for media coverage by establishing myself as a reliable expert source.”

Social networking web sites offer more than just linking people. Embracing the benefits of social networking sites can open up your network of friends and colleagues in a way you never thought possible. When it comes to business (and pleasure) living in a bubble will limit your potential. SNSs afford individuals the opportunity to spread their wings in a non-threatening and fun way.
