Social Networking Services(SNS)

How can social networking services be "controversial" when they are like a necessary source in our lives?

2. How are they different from social media?

Social networking and social media are completely different. Social networking is an act of engagement. Groups of people with common interests associate together on social networking sites and build relationships through community, while on the other hand, social media is a way to transmit, or share information with a broad audience. Everyone has the opportunity to create and distribute. All you really need is an internet connection and you're off to the races.

So lets take youtube as an example. Broadcasting what you did today would be considering youtube as a social media. If you were to interact with the viewers through the comments in youtube, that would be considered as social networking.

  1. You used some information from the Web without acknowledging the source. For example, "Social networking is an act of engagement. Groups of people with common interests associate together on social networking sites and build relationships through community..." is from http://www.socialmediatoday.com/content/5-differences-between-social-media-and-social-networking .

    You can use sources but you have to report on the information in your own words AND acknowledge the source.
