Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and many others have all become a part of our daily lives. We have become so accustomed to social networking that from the moment when we wake up, to what we eat and drink and till the very moment we sleep, we are either taking pictures or updating the world about what we do. It is a way we chose to interact and collaborate with others around us and even around the world. If used effectively, social networking can actually help you promote your skills and advertise your talents. It is a chance for you to meet new people and a chance for others to get a glimpse of your life that you chose to share. 


Because social networking gives you the opportunity to connect with the world, this opens new windows for you to find job opportunities, find romance, getting assistance with anything, and receiving support from someone who may be in the similar position as yourself. You get to pick and choose individuals that share mutual interests with you and can even build a network around these commonalities. And because this is all happening over the computer, you do not need to worry about physically having to meet people that may reside in different areas of the world. 

Many social networking sites now incorporate instant messaging. This is very beneficial to those that want to have "real-time" together and be able to talk via chat. You actually save money by not having to make expensive phone calls anymore and are able to talk discreetly with a person in a room full of others. Just remember to be safe and careful while talking to others or using any form of social network and most importantly be RESPECTFUL of others!
