  2. man is a social being..........it pays if the people are real and not fake..........if used properly i would say it is a very positive influence........

  3. Orkut has been awarded with the tittle of 'Youth MTV Icon 2007'.

    Fropper.com lauches campaign for HIV Aids Awareness among Youth.

    And many other news, we heard last year about the social networking site.

    Online social networking has gained momentum in India and lot more is being said and done on it.

    It has become the new medium for Public Relation. People are coming together to raise their voice, to exchange information, to share knowledge and to investigate murder cases.

    Corporates, too have undertstood its importance and making thier own social networking site to interact with their consumers directly. Many advertising compaign and mainly comprising meesages relating to CSR( Corporate Social Responsibility) is being circulatiing among sites to enhance the image of the company. Some of them can be names as Spinz.in, girlsofgirls.com, maggi club, bigadda and many more...

    Social networking which was higly popular among youth to be in touch with their friends is now being diversified into many segments.

    Accordinly, to recent Guardian Report, there are 6 types of Social networking Users.

    Netrepreneurs:

    People who accessed the sites for the sole purpose of making money (4%).

    Connectors:

    People who revel in passing on information and links whenever they come across something they find interesting (10%).

    Transumers:

    People who follow the lead of others and join groups connected to their hobbies (28%).

    Collaborators:

    People who use social networking sites to create events (5%).

    Essentialists:

    People who use social networking sites to stay in touch with friends and family (38%).

    Scene Breaking:

    People who hunt down new bands and talent online and share that through the site (5%).

    But then Youth are in majority in all the segments. Online Social Networking has influenced the youth thinking.

    With the advancement of technology and coming age of 2.0 Web, internet has taken a new shape.

    But, as said every coin has 2 sides. Online social Networking has also effect our system.

    It brings thread to pirvacy, Identity theft, hacking, moral and social effects, thread to national security and many other things.

    We all are part of online social networking and thus want to know, How does your personal and professional life has been influenced through it

  4. it is extremely harmful for teen-aged boys and girls...

    even students in graduation level get mentally disturbed with the negative effects of Internet socialising process...

    youth get attached with virtual entities... create a beautiful image of the person on line and usually fall in love...

    such attachments usually do not last long... and the left-alone person sometimes go in stressful life... if not in depression...

  5. 1.Online social networks help to bring many of your friends near you but it is also a terror in disguise.

    2.People get to know the vast information spread across but at the same time become prey to results that are not expected.

    3.Photographs of women getting used for wrong purposes is one of them.

    4.Social online help brings the realiy\ty into picture but  on the other hand it washes of the innocence of teenagers as well.

    5.With network covering each and every domain of youth ,even the innocent are victimised.

    6.It is by my opinion a boon laying its curseful hands on mankind showing the path of progress that if not used properly is for a horrifying destruction.

  6. That would depend upon what interpretation "social network" has to each person - and what one had in mind when they interact upon the net.

    If youth recognize that social networks can be used as a communication tool and recognise that their are connectors out there that could help them in life - then this would be a very positive communication tool for self improvement.  Isn't everyone looking for that?

  7. They get more aquaintances and lesser friends!
