I have been fascinated with social networking sites ever since it first emerged. Over the years, websites like Face Book, Twitter or MySpace have sprung up and significantly impacted our lives whether like it or not. I believe that social media participation become an essential tool in making new contacts, recruiting employees, or simply keeping touch with a world. If you are not part of it the world is leaving you behind. The main reason for choosing my topic related to social media was to explore the phenomenon of these sites and investigate their influence on society. There are many articles, books or magazines available covering various topics about social network sites. Therefore, obtain necessary information wasn’t very difficult task. I used Baruch library’s database where I could obtain many very interesting ideas on this particular topic and chose the articles which was related to my research paper.

While reading many interesting articles, I discovered that social sites create plenty of opportunities, especially for business owners to reach out to millions of potential costumers and employees. Moreover, I was surprised that everyday about 60 millions of people in the United States login to social sites to connect with their high school classmates, hook up with their old friends or stay in touch with family members .
As well, social sites are the perfect place for self-promotion, a place for achievement to be acknowledged. Also, building a significant community membership is a great way to turn it into a profitable online business. However, I have also learned that social network sites have negative effects and blind spots.

I believe that my paper will contribute to the field of new media because not only presents the brief history of social networking but also shows positive and negative effects of it and advice how to create a great profile and learn to make friends without putting yourself at risk.
Social network sites are a great spaces where people not only communicate but become tied by common ideas, visions or friendship.
