Here are some stories of the advantages in using social networking 1.Carol Verity- what has Social Media ever done for me? I have found friends or friends have found me who I had completely lost touch with. Especially friends overseas. Connected with lots of friends from school – boarding school so bonds are strong – we keep in touch or randomly just comment nice to know we are all there. Facebook. I met one of my now best friends and business partner Chris Hall online. Twitter. I have made some amazing friends with fun, lovely, intelligent people. A blend of online and offline because of online connections. Twitter. I do great business. LinkedIn. Twitter. Email. Blog. Website. SlideShare. I have immense fun. Twitter. Facebook. People communicate as an alternative to texts – sometimes the fastest way to reach someone with a message. Twitter. Facebook. LinkedIn. Based on Carlo Verity's story, Social networking sites give him a very important role to his life because he always use social networing site for his connection to his friends and business . He meet his new friends and bestfriend , And now He is very happy for what he has now because of social networking site. http://www.carolverity.com/2011/03/how-social-media-changes-lives.html 2.Rober Pickstone: Social media has changed my life in so many ways but here are the two main ones: connecting with people and learning. Mainly through Facebook, I have been able to keep in touch with friends and family very easily. I know it could be done anyway using addresses, phone numbers and emails, but online it can be far more fun at times. The other side of the coin is meeting new people. My life has improved because I am spending time with people that I met through Twitter. That may sound dramatic but it's true. It has never been easier to find people with similar interests - it has never been easier to find great people. Social media has also helped me to learn. I have been able to keep up to date with relevant and interesting news, I have been able to read and think about the ideas and work of others, and I have been able to learn from others by talking to them. Again, it has never been easier to connect with people and to learn from them. Based on Robert Pickstone's story ,Social networing sites give him a chance to have a great time with his friends and a chance to be connected to other people. Maybe , In his personal life he is not the person that always had a great time to his friends and other people but when he use social networking sites he see the important scene to his life because He see his new friends and learn everything because of social networking site. http://twitter.com/#!/robertpickstone http://www.carolverity.com/2011/03/how-social-media-changes-lives.html The comment below. 3.Bob Hayward : Social Media is still changing my life - past - present and future Past Academy and Linked In were my first introduction to Social Media & with help from Thomas Power I began to understand the potential. My on-line networking and face to face networking improved dramatically leading to new business channels of referrals, new associate links and more importantly new friends. At the same time I used Friends Reunited to search for old friends – this enabled me to make fresh contact with two of the dearest friends I had at school and in my early adult life – Karim & George. Karim is now back in the UK after 19 years working abroad and we see each other regularly. George is still in Australia and invited me to be his best man at his wedding later this year. I have also recovered a number of old friends from Facebook. My 50th birthday party was populated by friends old and new – some old ones I would not have found again without social media – some peeps I would never have met for the first time without it. Present I am on a chunky project at Skype which only came about via social media and on-line networking. OK it didn’t happen overnight as relationships and trust can take a while to develop in any environment. Was the blogging – tweeting – retweets – comments – dialogue – face-to-face meetings worthwhile..? For sure I said this is a chunky project… I’m interacting more now than ever – on more platforms than ever – talking with more people than ever – this is enriching my business life, the charities I care about and my personal life. Future Life does not stand still – things change – projects & clients & relationships come and go – a circle of life as one song says. What no one can take away is my faith, my knowledge and my network; those things are my true wealth. That is the river where through which the water flows; and social media will, I am sure, enable me to continue to grow, to be tested, to be taught, to be found and to reach out. Based on Bob Hayward story, It is a very positive way of doing our social networking sites because He had a best communication because of social networks. Bob Howard is a person that used social networking site in a very positive way because He used it to communicate with his old friend and began to communicate them regularly. Few person can only used social networking sites in a positive way. 4.Jessica Livingston: Social networking sites might work for recruiters, but do people respond positively when approached on these sites? Many do. After all, their profiles are designed to broadcast their interests, so if a recruiter contacts them with something he thinks will be a good fit, people are usually interested. To find qualified people, recruiters can search sites for specific key words. From there, they can peruse the profiles that pop up on the screen and determine which candidates would be the best for the position. Some sites are even more helpful in that they allow users to list their past companies and skill sets. For more information, the recruiter can put the person’s name in a search engine and see what comes up. If the person’s background and interests are appealing, all it takes is a quick e-mail to the person to see if he or she would be interested in the job, or with working with a recruiter in general. Social networking sites don’t just benefit the recruiters, it also benefits job seekers. These sites give them access to positions they might not hear about when applying for jobs, and allows them to get in contact with people they might not meet otherwise. And the more connections they make through the sites, the more likely they are of finding a job that interests them. How else would they be able to get an interview at a place where they didn’t know anyone? If you’re still wary about trying to recruit using social sites, remember: People join networking sites for a reason—to network! Based on Jessica Livingston story : She use the social networking sites for recruiting people and communicating with her friends . She gave the importants of social networking sites for recruiting the people in business. It is a positive side of using social networking site for recruiting people in business. 5. I see the example of @LobstertruckDC, the Twitter account of Red Hook Lobster Pound. The company truck drives around DC, parks for the morning, afternoon, or however long until supplies run out, and sells all manner of lobster dishes. By using Twitter, the company can notify its customer base of the truck’s location, any special deals they’re selling, and other tidbits about the fresh lobster. Its 11,000 followers surely appreciate the interactivity of Twitter. From this we can learn how Twitter can work to update customers regarding a mobile store’s whereabouts and what specials are on the menu for that day. Based on the story, Twitter was use to inform the customers and in this story social networking site is a very useful site because it informs the customers and it lessen the time of all people that is involved to that activity. Here are some stories of the disadvantage in using social networking: 1.The story involving the 16 year-old girl from Michigan who disappeared from her family's home and was eventually found in the Middle East to meet a 25 year-old man she had met on the Internet, more particularly, MySpace. The young lady was advised to go back home once she had arrived at the airport in Jordan. She did go back home Based on the story , The 16 year old girl was inlove to the man that she never seen in her personal life. It is a danger decision that the 16 year old girl did because she want to meet with the man that she never seen. Authorities are uncertain as to whether or not any crimes have been committed in this case, but it is alarming at the very least. 2.Closer to home, a 27 year-old Naperville man was recently charged with indecent solicitation of a child, distribution of harmful materials, attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse all because he lured teenage girls in by means of his MySpace account. His account revealed sexually explicit photos of himself (John R. Wentworth-MyCrimeSpace, 5 June 2006). Based on the story, The 27 year old man grab the chance to lured the girl with a complete information. It is very bad decision when you reveal all of your information in networking sites because your stalker can see what are you doing, where do you live and what is your contact number and your life will be at risk. 3.Since September 2004, Dateline NBC has had a running segment titled "To Catch A Predator". From that time, investigations have been done, all taking place in different locations throughout the Based on the story, The men predators take advantage of using social networking sites to commit sexual crimes because they know that the teen ager will put their full information in their account that's why the predators grab the chance of using it to commit sexual crimes. 4.A 23 year-old male from Massachusettes who was president of his college's Sexual-Assault Victim's Advocacy Group, was convicted of raping an acquaintance. His MySpace.com site implies that he would never do such a thing as he claims on his site: "I do a lot of work with domestic violence awareness and I think it’s really crucial to speak out against such an epidemic," (TownOnline.com, 1 June 2006). Though it remains questionable as to whether or not he did commit this crime, one can see that MySpace - or any other personal information site for that matter - may or may not always reveal the truth about one's life and intentions. In fact, many sexual predators use fake identities complete with false pictures and information to mask their true identities in order to seem more enticing to those with whom they wish to interact. Based on the story, The 23 year old sympathic male was convicted in raping an acquaintance because his account was hacked . It is very dangerous when your account was hacked because like this story , He was convicted but he is not the one who do the crime 5.One report cited a man who molested a 16 year-old girl in September 2005; the two had met through MySpace.com, and he was able to track her down as a result of the information she provided on her site (Website's Power To Overexpose Teens Stirs a Warning, 8 December 2005). Additionally, according to one source, in March 2006 alone, there were at least three men who were charged with sexually assaulting teenagers they met on MySpace.com. In early April, a 26 year-old-man was charged with sexually assaulting a 15 year-old-girl who he had met through MySpace.com (Why Parents Must Mind MySpace, 5 April 2006). Based on the story, Their are many risk in our life especially women .The stalkers or bad guys use social networking site to a negative way like Using the Social Networking Sites to Commit Sexual Crime and For me , It is very important if you do not put your full information in your account because your life will be at risk. |
