'''Public vs. private: comparing public social network information with email'''
http://lcweb.senecac.on.ca:2126/citation.cfmid=1460563.1460627&coll=ACM&dl=ACM&CFID=106057593&CFTOKEN=91510606
<u>'''Information'''</u>
Many organizations today have blogging systems, wikis, forums, and even social bookmarking and social networking services behind the firewall.
'''<u>Pros</u>'''
Systems like blogs, wikis, forums, social bookmarking, or social networking services, expose a lot of social network information, which is public in its nature. For example, in many blog systems, everyone may see who makes comments to whom; in many wiki systems, everyone can see who edits the same pages; in many social bookmarking systems, everyone can see who bookmarks the same web pages or uses the same tags; and in many social networking sites, everyone can see by default who is friends with whom. Thus, social applications such as those mentioned above provide a wide range of public sources for social network information.
<u>'''Cons'''</u>
Having more and more valuable public sources for social network information, both on the internet and on the intranet, presents an opportunity to collect social network information in a way that is less sensitive privacy-wise.
<u>'''Summary'''</u>
Humans now a days rely too much on online networking sites for basic communication. Online networking has become a major tool or source in order to interact or communicate between users of different age groups. It is most popular with students with nomadic life. Due to the smart phones like blackberry or iPhone etc, or phones which are web enabled, these online networks have become even more popular. It helps to forge bonds with people who they hardly know or see but still need to meet in order to discuss about project or jobs. Sometimes they used networking tool to interact with people who they don't want to have close relationships with and therefore, would rather message them than call them. People reply on friends status or messages to be reminded about an event/party or to be invited out for lunch/dinner/meeting.
