Why Do People Use Online Social Networks?

What is a social network? A social network is a website such as MySpace, YouTube, Facebook. They are called social networks because they are essentially websites that primarily focus on socializing.

People join social networks so they can stay in contact with family or friends easily. It's one of the most popular methods of keeping people you love updated with what you are doing. Many sites have applications where you can also send messages and comments to your friends, making it that much easier to keep in contact. In this day in age, the telephone seems to be a huge time factor, so if you just want to drop a quick note hello, social networks allow you to do this without taking a lot of time out of your day. (I know it's the lazy way out.)

Another reason people join is because they are looking to meet new people. You can often search out people that have the same interests as you, so this makes it easier to find people you want to befriend. Whether you are looking for friendships, business ventures, or dating, you can find people that are looking for the same thing as you.

Another very popular reason people join social networks is to make money. When you join a network, you are able to market to a large group of targeted prospects. Businesses are quickly joining the growing social network trend.
