Check Out Social Networking Sites

There are so many social networking sites these days that it's hard to keep up. Common sites that people tend to visit when they are on the internet are Facebook, My Space, Bebo, etc. If they have signed up on these sites, they can easily catch up with old and new friends, old and new, show photographs of their latest night out, vacation pictures and/or contacts as many perspective employers and/or recruiters seem to look at these sites often.

In the beginning it may have been fun, but some people may be waking up to the fact that this may be taking over their lives. I do think, however, that the hype of some social networking sites has passed. Hopefully, people will slowly but surely take a step back to realize that it requires a great deal of time and effort to keep up wtih hundreds of "so-called" friends. Is that really possible? If so, that means you have to forfeit some of your work hours to focus on maintaining your profile on these sites. Better yet, they may have to forfeit their "real" time with friends to be better spent in front of the computer in order to connect with "virtual" friends. To some degree, it's nice to be able to relay news/messages to all your friends at once instead of individually, yet at the same time, you lose the opportunity of seeing them face to face.
