At the forefront of emerging trends in social networ5ing sites is the concept of Ireal Ireal timeI timeI and Ilocation based.I $eal time allows users to contribute content which is then broadcasted as it is being uploaded - the concept is similar to live television broadcasts. Twitter set set the trend for Ireal timeI services where users can broadcast to the world what they are doing or what is on their minds within a 1HB character limit. (aceboo5 (aceboo5 followed followed suit with their I:ive (eedI where usersJ activities are streamed as soon as it happens. hile Twitter focuses on words !li7tr another real time service focuses on group photo sharing where users can update their photo streams with photos while at an event. (riends and nearby users can contribute their own photos and comments to that event stream thus contributing to the Ireal timeI aspect of broadcasting photos and comments as it is being uploaded. n the location based social networ5ing space foursquare gained popularity ?3ar5er 1GGF@. as it allowed for users to Ichec5-inI to places that they are frequenting at that moment. #owalla is another such service which functions in much the same way that (oursquare does leveraging the #3+ #3+ in in phones to create a location based user e7perience. !li7tr though in the real time space is also a location based social networ5ing site since events created by users are automatically geotagged and users can view events occurring nearby through the !li7tr i3hone app. $ecently ,elp ,elp announced announced its entrance into the location based social networ5ing space through chec5-ins with their mobile app> whether or not this becomes detrimental to (oursquare or #owalla is yet to be seen as it is still considered a new space in the internet technology industry ?3ar5er 1GGF@. %ne popular use for this new technology is social networ5ing between businesses. !ompanies have found that social networ5ing sites such as (aceboo5 and Twitter are great ways to build their brand image. According to 0ody 'imet/ author of 6ar5eting 0ive there are five major uses for businesses and social media8 to create brand awareness as an online reputation management tool for recruiting to learn about new technologies and competitors and as a lead gen tool to intercept potential prospects.L2BM These companies are able to drive traffic to their own online sites while encouraging their consumers and clients to h ave discussions on how to improve or change c hange
products or services. %ne other use that is being discussed is the use of +ocial 'etwor5s 'etwor5s in the +cience communities ?3ar5er 1GGF@. 0ulia 3orter ?2BBB@ has published a study on how 'ew iotechnology (irms are using social networ5ing sites to share e7changes in scientific 5nowledge. They state in their study that by sharing information and 5nowledge with one ano ther they are able to Iincrease both their learning and their fle7ibility in ways that would not b e possible within a self-contained hierarchical organi/ation.I +ocial networ5ing is allowing scientific groups to e7pand their 5nowledge base and share ideas and without these new means of communicating their theories might become Iisolated and irrelevantI. +ocial networ5s are also being used by b y teachers and students as a communication tool. ecause many students are already using a wide-range of social networ5ing sites teachers have begun to familiari/e themselves with this trend and are now using it to their advantage. Teachers Teachers and professors are doing everything from creating chat-room forums forums and groups to e7tend classroom discussion to posting assignments tests and qui//es to assisting with homewor5 outside of the classroom setting. +ocial networ5s are also being used to foster teacher-parent communication. These sites ma5e it possible and more convenient conven ient for parents to as5 questions and voice concerns without having to meet face-to-face. +ocial networ5s are being used by activists as a means of low-cost grassroots organi/ing. *7tensive use of an array of social networ5ing sites enabled organi/ers of the 2BBG 'ational 2BBG 'ational *quality 6arch to 6arch to mobili/e an estimated 2BBBBB participants to march on ashington ashington with a cost savings of up to FCN per participant over previous methods.

2.5.1 Government Applications +ocial networ5ing is more recently being used by various government agencies. +ocial networ5ing tools serve as a quic5 and easy way for the government to get the opinion of the public and to 5eep the public updated on their activity. The The !enters for Disease !ontrol demonstrated the importance of vaccinations on the popular childrenJs site hyville hyville and and the 'ational %ceanic and Atmospheric Atmospheric Administration Administration has a virtual island on +econd :ife where :ife where people can e7plore underground caves or e7plore the effects of global warming. +imilarly +imilarly 'A+A has ta5en ta5en advantage of a few social networ5ing tools including Twitter and and (lic5r .

2.5.2 Business Applications The use of social networ5 services in an enterprise conte7t presents the potential of having a major impact on the world of business and wor5 ?(raser ?(raser et el 2BBF@. 2BBF@. +ocial networ5s connect people at low cost> this can be beneficial for entrepreneurs entrepreneurs and and small businesses loo5ing businesses loo5ing to e7pand their contact bases.

2.5.3 Dating Applications 6any social networ5s provide an online environment for people to communicate and e7change personal information for dating purposes. ntentions can vary from loo5ing for a one time time date short-term relationships relationships and long-term relationships. 6ost of these social networ5s just li5e li5e online dating services require user to give out certain pieces of information. This usually includes a userJs age gender location interests and perhaps a picture. $eleasing very personal information is usually discouraged for safety reasons. This allows other users to search or be searched by some sort of criteria but at the same time people can maintain a degree of anonymity similar to most online dating services. %nline dating sites are similar to social networ5s in the sense that users create profiles to meet and communicate with others but their activities on such sites are for the sole purpose of finding a person of interest to date. +ocial networ5s do not necessarily have to be for dating> many users simply use it for 5eeping in touch with friends and colleagues ?!owperwait et al 2BB2@. )owever an important difference between social networ5s and online dating services is the fact that online dating sites usually require a fee where social networ5s are free. This difference is one of the reasons the online on line dating industry is seeing a massive decrease in revenue due to many users opting to use social networ5ing services instead. 6any pop ular online dating services such
as 6atch.com 6atch.com ,ahoo 3ersonals 3ersonals and e)armony.com e)armony.com are are seeing a decrease dec rease in users where social networ5s li5e 6y+pace and (aceboo5 (aceboo5 are are e7periencing an increase in users. The number of internet users in the &.+. that visit online dating sites has fallen from a pea5 of 21N in 2BB9 to 1BN in 2BBK. hether its the cost of the services the variety of users with different intentions or any other reason it is undeniable that social networ5ing sites are quic5ly becoming the new way to find dates online ?!owperwait et al 2BB2@.
2.5.4 Eucational Applications The 'ational The 'ational +chool oards Association Association reports that almost KB percent of students who use social networ5ing tal5 about education topics online and surprisingly more than CB percent tal5 specifically about schoolwor5. ,et ,et the vast majority of school districts have stringent rules against nearly all forms of social networ5ing during the school day - even though students and parents report few problem behaviors online. +ocial networ5s focused on supporting relationships between teachers and between teachers and their students are now used for learning educator professional development and con tent sharing. 'ing sharing. 'ing for teachers :earn !entral Teach +treet and +treet and other sites are being built to foster relationships that include educational blogs report folios formal and ad ho c communities as well as communication such as chats discussion threads and synchronous forums. These sites also have content sharing and rating features ? 'ova 2BBK@.
2.5.5 !eical Applications +ocial networ5s are beginning to be adopted by healthcare professionals as a means to manage institutional 5nowledge disseminate peer to peer 5nowledge and to highlight individual physicians and institutions. The advantage of using a dedicated medical social networ5ing site is that all the members are screened against the state licensing board list of practitioners. The role of social networ5s is especially of interest to pharmaceutical co mpanies who spend appro7imately I92 percent of their mar5eting dollarsI attempting to influence the opinion leaders of social networ5s.
