When a person is interested in somebody, an intrinsic urge to find out more about that specific person arises. But back in the days, people found it difficult to acquire information about a particular person, regardless of whether that person is a famous celebrity or the object of another’s affection.
Now with the introduction of social networking sites, connecting with other people has become so much easier. These days, almost everyone has at least one social networking account in Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. Through these accounts, people provide personal information, upload pictures, and post updates about themselves for the public to see.
In fact, the most popular celebrities today have their own pages and personal accounts in social networking sites. Fans can subscribe to these celebrities’ accounts and be constantly updated with live feeds. People who have connected social media accounts can also acquire live updates from each other.
One fine example of a social networking site is Facebook. It is very interactive and accessible. You can browse a person’s profile and view the information therein. Facebook also allows you to keep in touch with your loved ones, family and friends.
Moreover, you can now meet different people through social networking sites. Gone are the times when you had to meet someone personally in order make them your acquaintance. Through social networking sites, getting to know someone can be done instantly. Terry Powell points out that "poking" has become the new handshake. Basically, making friends and renewing old ties is easier.
Social networking has somehow shaped the lives of people today. It would be difficult to imagine how life would be without social networking. The internet and social networking sites will continue to grow and prosper. Social networking will become more interactive and, accordingly, people will share a very strong relationship with each other.
