Social Networking

There are many ways social networking sites can be used by both corporations and organizations to help enhance business throughout companies. Corporations can use blogs or wikis to have online based file sharing programs to make it easier to work on projects or assignments from any location. It also makes it easier for files to be saved on online accounts rather than on hardware because hardware can simply crash or get damaged. Blogs can also help companies build themselves and be better since it can help them find their faults through the feedback they get from employees as well as customers. With this technology, society can communicate directly with companies and give their thoughts and ideas. However, there can be a "dark-side" to social networking. There can be users who post fake messages and try to cause corruption since they have the advantage of anonymity. Anyone can lie about information on these sites and be whoever they want to be. In my opinion, social networking sites would be a great source for corporations in the future. As everything is evolving online and becoming web-based, having blogs and wikis will make it a lot more convenient for consumers to be more aware of what businesses and corporations have to offer.
