Myspace and Facebook are very new and improved way to communicate with old high school or college friends, current friends, or family. Both websites have pictures where you can comment on walls or individual photos.
Myspace and Facebook are very good for businesses. Businesses can buy admin to look at peoples accounts. Because of that, businesses can look at everyone that has a Facebook or Myspace that is trying to hire for the job. Another reason Myspace and Facebook are good for businesses is because a business can create an account and post pictures of the store or pictures of their merchandise. But it is bad for those employees that want a job and they have a bad profile saying that they’re addicted to drugs and other bad stuff like that.
The two websites are especially good for social reasons because you can contact your friends on their wall, individual pictures, or even on individual comments. It is good for social reasons because you can talk to them with in only seconds. Another reason Myspace and Facebook are very good for social reasons is because users can search names and find old schoolmates 30 years ago. It is bad because if you own an account, then you have very little privacy since random people can view your site. It is also bad because your classmates can post rude or hurtful things on their account.
Facebook and Myspace are very good for the entertainment world. On Myspace, you can search music artists and listen to their music. For Facebook and Myspace, you can be friends with the most popular stars like Morgan Freeman or be friends with baseball star Derek Jeter. It is also good because movie trailers can advertise on these websites since millions of users or on every day. It is bad for the entertainment world because there is very little privacy.
There is no significantly good or bad impact for the news.
For Recreational purposes, Facebook and Myspace can be fun by talking to your friends through an IM, make funny comments, post funny pictures, or just by looking at past times through pictures. Other recreational purposes are games on peoples’ pages and also meeting new people. It is very bad for recreational purposes because people can get raped or killed if they meet a random person that they meet online. It is also bad because people can write cruel or rude comments on their wall.

LinkedIn was created in 2002 and it is another networking site whose specialty is more business than anything else. It is used for showing the connections you are not aware of by showing your friends. It helps you stay in touch with people you used to know but no longer stay in touch with.
It can help people find jobs and other business opportunities. LinkedIn is for giving and receiving advice about various topics. It even helps out small business owners because the owner can keep contact of clients. This in theory can be a great thing but there can be problems.
When business is done over the internet it’s really impersonal and you don’t really know who you are dealing with. A lot of people join and they have connections but they can’t find a way for the website to help themselves. Some have an account for over a year and nothing has happened to benefit them in anyway so they are thinking that the website is useless. That can be said about any social networking site but when it comes to business it really doesn’t make sense to keep the website if it doesn’t do anything for you.
These networking sites are all pretty similar and do essentially the same things. The difference is that it depends on what type of networking you want to do or which one is user friendly. If someone wants business connections then LinkedIn is good for those reasons and it never ends. But the fact that LinkedIn focuses more on business than social networking makes it in my opinion one of the better business-social networking site. A hard part is getting started with your first connections. Signing up is the first step, but where do you go from there? Once you find out how to use LinkedIn correctly it will benefit you more than the other business networking sites.
