Introduction
Social Networking has been around for quite some time before the Internet even existed. This was through the form of Bulletin board systems where users used to upload/download files & share messages between each other. It has evolved a lot throughout the years & is now one of the largest markets in the world where Facebook is the top company that is making the most money over the Internet. The best thing about this? It's community based so people help it to grow without even needing adverts and marketing.

I decided to write on Google plus social network for the simple reason that it is new & quite promising I must say. It is still in beta so I got an invite for a beta account in order to use it. We decided to try it all together in the classroom & I very much compare it to facebook but much more customizable& fast. For example your friends could be separated into different "circles" which are sections where you put your friends & family. For example I put all my classmates & teachers into a circle named School so I can identify & be able to only share some of the stuff with them. We also made use of the "Hangout" which is a nice feature in google+ involving video conferencing between 2 or More persons. It's fast as well since there's no flickering with the videos. I also think that their "stream" is pretty much Facebook's Wall so it's quite intuitive if you have used facebook before.
Social Media Marketing
As Facebook caught on we can see many local company's using facebook to market their products & services. For example radio stations are making use of facebook to communicate with their listeners & companies are making competitions using the Like button in order to market their company. People using facebook are loving this and seem to be enjoying this new experience. This revolution will keep on going and I think that we will see some major changes in the upcoming years which will also change how the population perceives the Internet.
Conclusion
As the web technology keeps improving day by day so do web applications. More entrepreneurs keep seeing the profit potential of the Internet and are competing with loads of small & large companies. Mark Zuckerberg showed us that with the Internet there's no limitations & at his young age he made more money with facebook than what google made. As mentioned earlier, I believe that we are going to see some major changes going on very soon and companies will need to adapt to these changes in order not to fall back and loose their market.
