Facebook Will Change The Face Of Social Networking As We Know It

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision, if you will. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other people, to gather and share first-hand information and experiences about cooking, golfing, gardening, developing friendships or professional alliances, finding employment, business-to-business marketing and even groups sharing information about the end of the Mayan calendar and the Great Shift to arrive December 21-2012. The topics and interests are as varied and rich as the story of our world.
Write About It In Bulk
This is where social networking comes in. Instead of writing a dozen (or a hundred) different letters or emails to each of your friends telling them that you just bought a new dress (or car or house or whatever), you make a single post that then those dozen (or hundred) different people can read. Something happens, you write about it, it gets posted on the social networking site, and everyone you know reads about it. It takes all the work out of keeping your friends up-to-date on what you’re doing.
Business World
“Facebook’s entre into this market will hasten Microsoft, IBM/Lotus, Google and others to roll out similar product,” Daniel Mittleman, associate professor in the College of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University in Chicago, wrote in an e-mail. “So, by 2014 much of the corporate world — using a future version of the same product they are using today — will have access to something similar to what Facebook just announced. And I think it will be much more than 20 percent.”
New Email Features
Following on from this, CEO for Facebook “Mark Zuckerberg” revealed the launch of Facebook messages integrating new e-mail features enabling users to text and chat. Associate professor “Daniel Mittleman” at the College of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University in Chicago commented by saying, “Facebook’s entre into this market will hasten Microsoft, IBM/Lotus, Google and others to roll out a similar product.
