...Sunday, November 16, 2008 The Advantages of Social Networking It's great to have friends but you have to admit that there are certain interests you or they have, which neither is not interested in. When this happens, it is time to expand our circle and that is just one of the advantages of social networking. Social networking enables people who share the same interests to hang out together and this simply means that you are able to make new friends. If for example you are interested in basketball, no one there will get tired of talking about the players or the game which occurred last night or several years ago. Since most social networking is done over the web, you get to meet individuals from other countries and learn about their culture. How many people do you know keep in touch with someone across the Atlantic or the Pacific? Given that you share something in common, you get to communicate with that person regularly that is very similar to hooking up with your friends after work or school. From a business point of view, the first two advantages of social networking enable you to meet new clients and expand your business because most of these sites allow you to customize your webpage and provide links to your personal website. Just to give you a few examples, there is Multiply, MySpace, Friendster, FaceBook and Classmates. With so many around, you won't have a hard time looking for a social network that you like. You can even post ads here so you can inform other members...

Signature _________________________________ Article Summary 1: Using Social Networking Sites for HR Decisions Webster University HRMG-5000 Spring 1 2015 January 19, 2015 The invention and popularity of the internet has created a whole new way for organizations to recruit quality employees. “Many people initially use social media more than job board sites to look for a job” (Mathis, Jackson, & Valentine, 2014, p. 195). This allows those searching for jobs the ability to look at more potential jobs in a shorter amount of time from the comfort of their home. Social networking through the internet allows human resources professionals to reach a greater number of prospective job candidates in almost real time. Many companies are beginning to use technology to their advantage in looking for, identifying and attracting talented job candidates (Mathis, Jackson, & Valentine, 2014). Just as social networking can benefit both job candidate and organization, there is also another side to using social networking from a human resources point of view. The article gives the scenario of an employee who works for ABC Company and is forced to work late one day.

MySpace was one of the first big steps that lead other social media networking where it is. Being able to interact with your friends and family in a virtual world is a big success to being able to so be many places at once. Facebook is another social media networking tool that took the world by surprise. With Facebook you are able to share photos, express what is on your mind with your friends and family, write messages between you and others, and stay connected with people all over the world.
