Social Networking - The new face of Web 2.0
July 13, 2008 – 6:52 pmThere is no denying the fact that social networking is the new face of Web 2.0. The recent splurge of networking websites with My Space, Face Book and Orkut topping the list, online self-expression is fast gaining ground. Many people devote countless number of hours creating their social networking pages to perfection and changing them on and off to attract others. From seeing these profiles, people get a view of their personality, their beliefs and thoughts. Social networking websites can also be used to promote business or an organization ideal. Social networking means something different from what it used to in the bygone days. Today it is the creation of personal profile and even posting cheap pornography and sadeism online. A police officer was fired straight away for posting pictures of sadeism on women. The social networking websites are against uploading such obscene pictures but it is also the moral responsibility of the person himself, what should be portrayed on his profile.
The Social networking websites are also about community making. There are communities weird enough and I was quite surprised to find so many people identifying themselves as fairies or creatures other than human beings. These online communities help to share ideas and sometimes a lot of intellect is needed to keep these discussion forums going. The communities serve to let each other know better and also talk on the relevant subject without deviating much from the view. The online communities on these social networking websites also help in spreading the word around and in a little while a wider group of people gets messages that started from a small group.
