In this fast moving world, everything goes far away from us even our closed ones. We are introduced to several social networking sites today so as to keep us updated of our closed ones.While the internet made the world a global village, the social networking sites brought the world within the four walls.Geographical locations are no barrier to stay in touch.Well, one of the many advantages is that you can connect with lost classmates, lost family members on social networking websites. Simply type in a name and you might see a picture of someone that you haven't seen in years. Some of the sites such as Friendster and MySpace are the two most popular sites that aim to build special niche for people who share common interests and passions. Whereas social networking sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn are more professionally related and help the business men promote their businesses.
However, everything has a positive and negative side.
Social networking of course helps in a lot of ways but the users have to be really careful to stay secure and safe. Security is one of the topmost concerns of social networking sites that you currently use. This is mainly because the social networking sites allow you to display your personal information such as name, location, and email address. There are some people who always in search of a fake identity. If they get all the information about you on internet, they may use your identity for different type of illegal activities, which may cause you problems in future. It is always advisable to don’t provide your entire identity information online.
You may get many requests for adding as friends or joining different communities. Always try to know as much as possible before adding anyone as friend or joining any community. Because they may use fake identity or may involve in some illegal activities, which may spoil your image.
Another cause of concern is cases of online harassment and stalking. Since the social networking sites, are very poorly regulated so it can be a very fertile ground for people trying to get even with you. They can spread malicious humor among your friends and also download and morph your photos.
To be honest, I am not against these sites , but the poor regulation of these sites. They should be properly regulated so that people enjoy the whole benefits of it.
ENJOY THE BENEFITS BUT BEWARE OF TROLLS
