I have learned that corporate and other business are using social networking not only to hire talent like we read in the article "Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting" by Frank Langfitt, where Mr. LaSpina got recruited throughout his profile in LinkedIn. Corporation are also using Social Networking to check on people's profiles before they get hire and even after, they are also using it as a marketing tool, they advertise their products and services, get reviews, share their ideas and get new ideas for their companies and more. There are many benefits of these technologies but in my opinion the most important are the fact that we can keep in touch with so many people that otherwise we could not, we can use these sites also to communicate, inform, advertise, get job opportunities. I am from Venezuela and almost all my family lives back there so social media has become a way to keep them close perhaps the distance. I know about them and they do about me. About a dark side I definitely consider privacy an issue, how your information is managed and shared, and how detrimental can lack of privacy or too much access to someone else's content can be. We read on the article "They're Back, and They're Bad: Campus-Gossip Web Sites" by Jeffrey R. Young how social network is used to attack other classmates. JuicyCampus is the site they use to post comments about classmates like the list of people allegedly with herpes, embarrassing pictures and videos. These technologies are growing and will continue to due to the different uses our society finds in them, all the ones mention before in my post and many more.
