Social Networks can be used to identify individuals and single out products (i.e. Bands, Actors, Companies, etc). According to Online Classes’ “50 Ways to Use Twitter in the College Classroom”, Twitter can be used to share ideas with your peers, better connect with your teachers and to keep updated with news contents. The article also explains how you can follow companies that you would want to work for as an intern or after you get your degree.
Corporations can use social websites as a way to recruit, and update employees on current company events. For example say there is a company picnic, and on the company blog everyone can post what they are bringing or something simplistic as clarification the office being closed on Columbus Day. According to C.G. Lynch in “Twitter Tips: How to Find Job Posts on Twitter”, Companies have turn to twitter to post jobs. I think this is revolutionary. If people could create a professional profile for themselves and follow companies then it would better the application for both parties.
There are many benefits of social networking technologies in society, mainly the opportunity to share ideas about jobs, news, health, and maybe even to meet people. The dark side would be falsification of information, so nothing is really granted. For instance people trying to look for relationships online but have fake profiles. People with blogs giving health advice that have limit education on health.
In the future people will have multiple profiles for social and work, and like the NY Times article “Tweeting Your Way to a Job," by Laura M. Holson, more jobs would be strictly online and the meets rooms will be discussion boards and the office will be the company blog.
