The Evolution of The Use of Social Networking: Personal and Business

In the beginning there was sites such as Xanga, and MySpace that we all used to connect with each other through the web. Now sites such as Facebook and Twitter among others have popped up and revolutionized the way in which social networking is to be used. They have continually improved their interfaces and ease of use that now even older individuals are beginning to use Facebook. Additionally, businesses are even using social networking sites to advertise by posting promotions or new products on their Facebook pages or through tweets. Now that almost everyone has begun using social networking sites for various reasons, what's next?

  1. I think this topic is a great idea. When social networking sites first began, it was mainly for personal use but now even businesses have expanded their ideas into social networking. For businesses, posting ads on social networking sites help promote their company but also give an awareness to people the next time they see the business name. I am interesting in what else is next in store for social networking! Good luck on your findings!
