Topic: Social Networking: A Purposeful Loss of Privacy

Social Networking has evolved and gained immense popularity. Social networking is used to communicate with friends, family or even employers.

    Social networking has definitely decreases the privacy and freedom of users all over the web. Our information is literally everywhere, theres no escaping it.

    Hey Danica,

There are many social networking sites around now such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Many people use these networking sites for business and social uses. The benefits of these technologies are how convenient and easy to use they are to use. For example, to send a Facebook message only takes a few clicks rather than having to send an email or a hand written letter. Another benefit for sites such as LinkedIn is the accessibility to multiple job recruitments. "Social networking technology is absolutely the best thing to happen to recruiting — ever.
