Social Networks

Social networks are very interesting, they allow for users to communicate with one another very easily in a very user friendly manner with pictures and information on who we are talking to.

The social network I have been using for over a year now is Facebook. I chose this over the popular Americanized Myspace, because all of my local friends use Facebook, and it's interface above all, is very appealing to me. It is not as complex as myspace, everything is very organized and neatly put together with pictures of your friends, their notes, and the famous wall which lets you talk to your friend and anyone else who reads it, sometimes having even a group conversation on someone's profile wall.

What I like about social networks is that you get to talk to your friends, view their new photos, and see all the new information and news that has been happening with your close or even distant friends, giving you information on what's been happening!

I use this in my personal life already, and find it hard to live without! However as for using it in a professional manner, may not be as useful, since I would just email my clients or co-workers on any information I may have.

Teachers and students can use this technology of social networking to possibly find out the latest information of their work lives, rather than personal lives such as we all would use with Facebook.
