Social networking sites


Social networking is an online service or site that focuses on facilitating the building of social networks or social relations among people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. Social networking services consist of representation of each user, their social links, and a variety of additional services. 
Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. 
Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. 
Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks. 

Good points about Social networking:
  • Easy access and easy to use, the target audience for our track stereotypically uses it daily.
  • Artists can get in contact with and be contacted by fans in regards to their work.
  • Advertisement of products on the social network is hugely successful.
Bad points about social networking:
  • There is the possibility of a lot of negative attention surrounding a product.
  • Information that was not meant to be seen by an audience can be leaked onto the social network and spread quickly as the security of the website isn't first rate.
  • As it is so widely used, it needs constant attention as some fans may feel ignored if they try to get in contact with an artist.
