Just like everything else that has something to do with computer electronic technology is "HOT" right now. Pretty soon we will no longer have to call anybody manually and we will all see each other virtually as we talk!! It is simply amazing! If you look on the bright side of things. I think that this new age of technology is making the newer generation more advanced and technicly inclinded!

Social networking sites are just going to grow bigger in the future. People like to be able to look up other users or find old friends from school. If someone could combine the most popular sites together and just have one hugh site they could definitly make a lot of money.

I viewed the site and i think that social networks will continue to grow. I know some people who sit on the computer all day on some of these sites and many or them are on more than one site with different pages on each site. The way that i would cash in on this would be to just copy what all the other sites are doing why change a formula that is already working i mean the article said that myspace adds 150 new members a minute it must be working, Right?

Social networking is growing by leaps and bounds and is only going to increase in popularity as it offers a tremendous amount of opportunities to socialize, network, share ideas, and the list can go on and on. The possibilities are practically endless with the world wide web at your finger tips acting as your medium to the rest of the world.

Like most of the "corners" of the internet, Social Networking sites provide an ever growing need to the online population. More and more people turn to the internet as a place to explore, learn, and in the case of these sites, meet new people, though not all of them need to take the form of an actual website, some can be in other forms of online "edutainment" the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG)! Sites like "Second Life," or games such as "World of Warcraft," also provide avenues for the online gathering of people in a social setting. This trend will only continue as Virtual Reality technology, 3D rendering, and streaming media continue to evolve.

I feel that the online networking community is a growing industry that is going to be around for a while. Myspace is the leader for the online networking, next with youtube, and then online chatrooms, and online gaming. No matter what you are into or not into, you will have to go online to a networking community, so you might as well join something! I love myspace! :)

Online social networking is the weave of the future. In this article I learned the beginnings of social networking such as the first social network was called USENET and built by a Duke University graduate in 1979. There are social networks works for almost everything and if you can’t find what you looking for make one up people will join. Soon this may be how you get hired for employment. In order for your business to thrive you must network it through the Internet. Online networking is evolving educate yourself as much as possible on how to network it.

Digital social networking is where it is at, at least for the moment...
While this trend is growing at an exponential rate, there are still risks of bigger and better things to come.
Yet, the ability network at convenient times, without borders, without restraint is a not only a huge advocate of globalization. But it also harnesses the power of it with an ease that is almost unnatural.
The opportunities these types of advantages present are endless and near immeasurable. No longer do you need 500 telemarketers, you just need one internet savvy individual who is determined to make a sale to promote a product. Gone are the days of knuckles meeting doors, here are the days of fingertips tapping plastic.

The networking sites is going to continue to grow everday and grow as we speak now. This is the newest way to communicate and doing business among companies. This is our future now, and now eveyone has to learn the way and how it works.

I believe that the online social networking community is only going to expand because people are coming up with new ways to improve on the inventions already out there. The reason why i think this is because people love communicating through e-mail and other technical ways.

I believe online social networks are ok but i would rather make friends in different wys,I do not have a my space account but wife does and if i need to find some one i just use hers i now it can take a lot of time out of your creating your site, thats why sometimes i would rather just pick up my phone than do E-mail or my space
