Social networks

Hi readers!


In this article I'm going to write about the advantages and the disadvantages about the social networks.

A social networking service is a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who share interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his or her social links, and a variety of additional services. Social networks are web-based services that allow individuals to create a public profile, to create a list of users with whom to share connections, and view and cross the connections within the system. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Social network sites are varied and they incorporate new information and communication tools such as mobile connectivity, photo/video/sharing and blogging. Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, pictures, posts, activities, events, interests with people in their network.(As we can read in Wikipedia).

In this picture we can see a variety of social networks, like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo....
In Instagram we can see pictures of users and we can give likes if we love the photo.
In Facebook we can published pictures, texts, videos....
In Twitter we can published texts and photos and we can decided if we like the publication or not.

In my opinion social networks have more advantages than disadvantages, for example in this websaits we can meet with friends or see what is doing in a specific moment, but also are negative causes, for example the persons who enter in your socialnetworks and do things that then have consequences to other persons.
