Social Networking

Social Networking is helpful in marketing companies. Social Networking sites like Facebook is useful for companies to advertise.  Using a social networking site, companies are able to promote their products free at charge. It would be a disadvantage if a company didn’t have a Facebook or Twitter. Without social networking, companies would depend on newpapers or commercials to deliver their message. According to the article, "Being There: The subtle art of Facebook update." by Virginia Heffernan, she is talking about how facebook is always updated and it keeps you updated about society and your friends.  From the article "Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting" by Frank Langfitt, Employers can locate future employees from their social networking site. Social Networking sites can lead to potential employment with just one click away.

There is always a dark side to social networking sites. Social networking sites like Facebook collects personal information from the user. The privacy is exposed and all your personal information is on the world wide web. Employers are now using social networking when it comes to hiring. Even with an impressive resume, any photos that deal with partying and inappropriate behavior can make an employer change their mind of hiring you. I believe social networking will make an impact on the finance world. With marketplace already in social networking sites, but now investment can be taken to a whole new level. This will allow you to have a faster way to promote your assets and have money growth.
