The social networking phenomenon is set to intensify this year with the launch of new specialist communities and the further commercialisation of services, according to a report from analysts at Experian.
Social networking sites such as Hi5, MySpace, Bebo, FaceBoook etc. having already shown to be very popular, particularly with teenagers post up there personal details. Now the report shows that companies are about to 'tap into' this area as businesses are realising that this may be a good way for researching their market.
A topic relating to social networking was shown recently on BBC Panaroma, but it was about the issues of social networking sites being dangerous. Strangers are able to look at someones personal details and find out things such as there name, where they live and who there friends are etc. It is also shown no too long ago that it can also affect chances of getting a job. The best advice tip given on the show was that usually kids have there computer in there rooms, and so naturally feel safe, however they are not, so the best advice that was given was to have the computer somewhere where parents can see such as the living room.
