Facebook is not only for finding a girl/friend, Linked-in is not only for contacting for business, Xing is not only for meeting different people. Twitter is not only for to write what you are doing at the moment, Friendfeed is not only for sharing knowledge. Because of a lot of people can find the details that they miss in their lives, they had records of millions of people and also subscriptions with payment.

Are they real needs or artificial needs? In my opinion the ones that are artificial don’t work. I mean they can’t go on. We can tell the necessary and detailed needs in a few items;

- We want to follow the people who we are and must be in relation. We want to reach to the information that is updated continuosly.

- We want to share all that we live and know. We want to add a mark to somewhere, so that it can be useful for humanity.

- Communication is so fast, we are curious about what the other people do at that moment.

- We want to create a private fame area with blogs, articles, podcasts, videos, photos and mucis.

All these applications provide us comfort but in fact they impose sanction. There are alot of web applications from weight – food habits control to personal financial management. Social Networks are like this, too. A lot of people are in your social network from your childhood friend to your ex-boss. And you can find the people that you want to meet in these platforms. In conclusin, there will be both your potantial network and present network. You will have to evaluate when was your last messaging time, which project you spoke, how was your value addition for each ather.

A lot of people forget/miss out a lot of details in their life. Because, we expose overmuch information and we try to get over stres and we feel the pressure of social trends. Social media web-mobile applications provide the control in our life, everywhere and everytime. From the things in our mind to our attitude. Some social projects that are in niche category;

- Private Networks that subscribers are only from your family, relative and family friend.
- Sub categories; friends, familiar friends, business friends, coach-mentor etc.
- Some soacial networks for; goals, hobbies, passions …

Actually, we can share and archive our all minds, all things that we see and hear. For axample;

Let’s start with “one word” and we will be following to reflecion for life. “Bicycle”. You can open new connection to task/reminder/note. “My daughter” and “birthday present” for my daughter and “birthday organisation planning” and “event agency” for this organisation, search for “bicycle company” and “vacancy positions” for bicycyle company, meeting one “manager” who is working in bicycle company etc. List of keywords;

- bicycle
- my daughter
- birthday
- organisation
- event agency
- bicycle company
- vacancy position
- manager

You can follow all notes, tasks and reminder alerts. Who always writes all data and use these web-mobile applications? It seems hard. But, you can overlook to number of members Facebook, Linkedin, Xing, Twitter, Friendfeed etc.

I mean, everybody who wants to be a “brand” person in his/her life, will use. I’m not “geek” but I’m following a lot of social networking applications on internet. Naturally, some startup project not enough for me. But, they are discovering and devloping new system for our needs.More importantly, to produce benefit from social medya for life.

Are you using social networking and social media efficiently? What do you think about them?
