Media question
How do Facebook, Bebo and Google Plus change the way audiences connect with each other?
Social networking has been on-going for 10 years and has risen is popularity year by year. Bebo launched with the explicit goal of connecting people with their friends in new ways. Bebo didn’t have much software as Facebook and Google Plus has. It would only let you write on each other’s pictures and let you email. There was no instant messenger. But it recent year Facebook has become the most popular social networking site. There is all type of way in which you can connect with other users. There is status update, wall post, instant messenger etc. these are the many ways in which people connect now. Sites like Facebook let users build a profile with photos and personal data such as education, employment or favourite movies, music and books. This profile serves as a base from which the users build a network of friends and contacts
Now, a new contender has appeared on the scene: Google+. With all the might of the Google brand behind it, a full year of development and, lessons learned from Google's past forays into the social space, Google believes it has developed a product that will fundamentally change the way we share content and interact online.
Just as telephone, fax, and e-mail changed the way we communicate, social networking has revolutionized our conversations and social interactions.
Online interactions do not necessarily remove people from the outside world but may indeed be used to support relationships and keep people in contact, even when life changes move them away from each other. In addition to help student population, this use of technology could support a variety of populations, including professional researchers, community members, employees etc.
