Social Sites Are Starting to get Ridiculous

      



         I am really starting to regret that I be on social sites. They aren't what people try to make them out to be. I honestly think people are abusing the use of these social sites by displaying explicit behavior, videos, posts, and pictures.
        The primary disadvantage of social networking is that most people do not know how to network effectively. As a result, the few benefits they get from their networking activity are not worth the time invested. The best way to avoid being disappointed in this way is to decide on a strategy for using social sites, and stick to it. I know many people use social sites as a way to stay connected with what is going on but many others are still taking advantage by saying and doing negative things. For example, if you are going to use Twitter to draw attention, then resist the temptation to waste time tweeting about provocative behavior. Stay focused on what you want to achieve and don’t let yourself get distracted.
         The golden rule of social networking is to avoid putting anything online that could reflect badly on you. Pictures of you acting unprofessionally could harm your chances of getting a job, or make a poor impression but that is all I am seeing. If you want to use a social media site for personal as well as professional networking, consider creating a separate account under a nickname, so you can keep your professional account clean. One minute I see someone trying to be professional and then the next I see them uploading something the world shouldn't see or know and that doesn't make any sense at all.
