Social Networking

Social networking has rapidly grown over the years incorporating itself as a part of everyone's everyday lives. Social networking is used to communicate with friends and family, but can also be used an infrastructure for a business. Social networking has been a quick and easy way for people to build relationships and sharing information.  According to Frank Langfitt's article, " Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting", he states social networking technology is absolutely the best thing to happen to recruiting. Sites such as Linkedin, a network filled with millions of professional around the world, has helped find high quality suitable candidates that cannot be found elsewhere. Websites such as these have promoted an readily accessible way for people looking for jobs in specific fields along with employers looking for specific candidates.
Although society has benefited the work force, public and private relations there is the "Dark Side". The dark side of social networking would be the privacy of sensitive information. According to Rebecca Greenfield's article " Facebook Privacy is So Confusing Even the Zuckerberg  Family Photo Isn't Private", illustrates the sister of Facebook founder couldn't figure out the privacy setting. Randi had posted a family photo and set the privacy to friends only, but the photo was seen by another person who wasn't a friend of hers. In my opinion privacy conditions should evolve with the evolution of social media. Everyone shouldn't be able to access all sort of information about another person. Users of social networking should be more aware of the dangers and risk of publicizing themselves over the net. Even if a photo or information may be deleted currently, it still could be saved on a log or database somewhere else. People should be careful about their own identity and should fear the dangers.
