With the speedy technological growth, especially in the social media world, more and more social network sites continue to compete for quality, popularity and improved service for their users.
Some of these network sites include, LinkedIn, My Space, Facebook and Twitter to mention but some of them.
Facebook is the most dominant, followed by twitter, while LinkedIn is more for professional related communications while my space which is more popular among the young ones.
A person can make use of the social network sites to publish your own news, communicate with others people on various continents, raise funds for a campaign and organize a report or an event or find local volunteers.
This is how a person can make use of the social networking sites, write an instant message to the next person which can allow real time communication, have an instant web presence by for instance signing up and create a profile or a wiki or a blog, share or gain knowledge, find jobs or employees as well as consultants, promote your event or share content by writing stories on your blog, create own social networking and link up with various groups, provide new ways for people to connect to your organization.
For a person to make use of the social network site, you need to read and sign for a user service agreement and you become a family with those in touch with you.
For my the media which is my profession, those signing up can for instance create pages for the business to be on the look out of the customers concerns and even positive comments and give feedback. Such pages can also be used to promote particular strategies - such as communication as long as such ideas are clearly defined and how they would be carried out - on what platforms and how.
There is therefore so much a social network user can benefit from - as an individual, group or a business, all that must be done is to acquire the necessary tools which most of the time are available such as computers and laptops and mobile phones - and more importantly, train the users how to make maximum use of such opportunities.
