SOCIAL NETWORKING BLOG:

When we talk about the use of social networking, we should keep in mind that they can be in use in many ways. There are many ways that they can be beneficial to the corporate world and so much more. In the article “Impact of Social Media on Business Communication” by Anirudh Menon talks about how companies have to invest in the use of social networking if they are serious about reaching customers. Some of the ways I believe social networking is beneficial to people are as follows: They can bring better images of the business to the customers, can be used to get feedback on services and new products, help connect with friends and overseas family fast, Social networks allow in sharing ideas also allows people to find jobs by connecting to other networks.

We can see that online social networking are beneficial in many ways. They help eliminate many of the difficulties of the offline world. I believe social networking will take the corporate world on a new level in the future. However, as it has a good side it also has a dark side too. Hateful online behavior can become a real problem for social media users. Cyberbullying is harassment through text, email, and messages on social media, with significances for the targets reaching from anxiety and even resulting to suicide in some cases. There are many forms of cyberbullying, including stalking, revealing personal information, insults, and threats. According to John Pepiewski in his article “The positive and Negative Effects of Social Networking” hackers stole the Facebook records of 6 million users. Stealing personal information through social networking is the number one negative impact that society faces.
