Social networking is used as a tools to make new friends and communicate with other. It is very convenience for user to communicate and it save a lot of time. Since everyone is busy for their own study or work, they are seldom has the opportunity to met each other face to face, but those social networking now is helping us to keep in touch with our friends and we can always know their recent life while we are reading their status and photo updates. Besides, it helps us make new friends easily by just press a key and chat with them.

In addition, SNSs work as a platform for user to promote their business for free. User can write down their information on the sites, and upload some photo to show their product (as an example).

Others advantages include:

Next, I gonna talk about the disadvantage of social networking.

Since everybody like to using SNSs, so among the users, they must involve some bad guy. Those people will steal others information include their photo to create a new account to doing something bad. This will bring a very bad consequence to the users (original one), such as damage his/her image.

On the other hand, while users are too rely on the SNSs, their social skill will be diminish. Since they like to use social networking to communicate, they might prefer it as their primary communication tool and next, lack of face to face conversation will happen and at the end, their social skill being diminish.

Others disadvantages are:

As a conclusion, social networking has both advantages and disadvantages and it is all depend on how the user used it, if users use it wisely it should be alright. So, everyone should think before they do anything and responsible for what they had do.
