Blog Social networking


The use of social networking can be used in many ways to help find a friend, find a place to eat, find a specific photo or location as stated in the article Facebook Search: Facebook adding search feature “Let users browse mainly photographs, people, places, and members’ interests.” In doing this people are able to connect more easily and find things in a breeze since everyone posts photos and so forth on Facebook and to find them you can search it up. There is also a corporate aspect to social networking where employers can find qualified candidates on the website LinkedIn as stated in the article Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting  “Typing keywords into a search engine, Crawford can scrape the entire network to dig out high-quality candidates that she can't find elsewhere.” Using this type of technology is very helpful and beneficial to all groups of people. These technologies can help someone reconnect with a long lost friend that moved away at a young age or even keep the relationship going if they move when you still know them. It is also beneficial for the job market since one it can give an individual seeking a job and interview since all the credentials are posted on the website, and it benefits the company since they were able to find that individual. Even with all of this there are always negatives to come with the growth of social networking. When Facebook started the search option it is possible that it led to people finding someone that they didn’t want to see in other words stalking could possibly happen. Also the possibility of finding someone to scam and take his or her money or anything else that would affect you negatively. I believe that eventually that LinkedIn will advance to the point where you will be able to take video calls for your interview rather than having to do it externally. Also for Facebook I believe that they can improve on certain privacy aspect since people can still be able to view photos and so forth that you post even of they aren’t your friend, and They have invested a lot of money into vr it would be pretty interesting if you could hang out with your friends through that technology from your house.
