These virtual communities are networked and allow for real-time communication between the collaborative parties. Many teenagers are joining these social network sites. Social networking sites are also referred to as social websites. Moreover, due to increased market, companies are creating mobile-based versions of the sites to meet new demands. The author of the research paper will discuss on public social sites Facebook and LinkedIn. These networked sites support both existing and new user inputs where one is prompted to create an account before they proceed to enjoy the services offered. Once an account is created, the new user can log in to the site mostly using their usernames and passwords. They get provided with a list of people that they can choose to interact. However, people selected within the list can either accept or deny a connection. Through careful selection, users can have a vast web of interconnected social friends. They can share images, files, videos, text. Companies also advertise new jobs through the social sites. Social sites have millions of users. However, one can have just a handful of them who are interconnected. Cultures of publics Facebook and LinkedIn Facebook was founded in the year 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg who is still the current Chief Executive Officer. Facebook’s culture is that they hold a Hackathon event every few months. The forum usually runs anywhere from 24 hours to a few days (Busby & Lesko, 2016). E-SOCIETY 4 All employees across the organization from different teams and locations come together to brainstorm. They build some of the things they believe will create will change the experience for Facebook users. The rule during the event is that an employee should not work on something related to their jobs. At the end of the meeting, teams present to their peers their ideas and the best ideas get picked. The teams will best ideas are given a chance to give to Facebook top executives. Through these hackathons, Facebook improves users experience and retention of its broad customer base. Some of the products derived from the Facebook events include Facebook chat, Facebook Groups, and Safety Check. LinkedIn, on the other hand, was designed as a website purposely for the business community. Users can use switch between around twenty-four languages. The purpose of LinkedIn is to help employers to post their jobs and the employees to post their Curriculum Vitae. The culture at LinkedIn is that they consider talent as their number one operating priority. Each employee at the company knows that they have an opportunity to transform themselves, the company and the world. The relationship between employees is regarded a key factor as trust get created between colleagues and the customers. Employees get encouraged to be constructive, honest and open. They are even asked to set achievable goals. That way the whole organization is excelling and meeting its planned objectives. Employees are invited to take cautious decisions like if they were the firm’s owner which make them be bold and make intelligent risks that grow themselves and the firm. Existence of Publics in the History Before the evolution of Facebook, Friendster was considered the premier social media site. The company had about three million monthly active users just a few months after its launch. However, the company ended up self-sabotaging itself with the user growth outpacing its E-SOCIETY 5 capabilities to handle them. Web pages occasionally failed to load from time to time or not at all. Myspace got invented as a solution to Friendster’s failure which also gained customers over time. However, when Facebook got released in the year 2004, it quickly took over the market and revolutionized it. Since then the company had generated many revenues and is the best social site having the most users. On the other hand, before LinkedIn got introduced, there existed Beyond.com. The professional social site was started in the year 1998 to help millions of people to find jobs and advance their careers. However, the professional site is still active in the market. However, it has been overtaken by LinkedIn. The success of LinkedIn got seen by the acquisition of the organization by Microsoft. Hosting of websites and other companies advertising jobs on the LinkedIn site is a bit cheaper than using the former. Analysis section The writer will analyze both the current and past social public locations. New sites that have been developed seem to solve the infrastructure that the former sites did not offer its users. Facebook was designed to meet new user requirements that Friendster was not offering and the frequent failure to load the web pages. Many users require that the public social sites be stable over and over whenever they need them. Also, they need attracting user interfaces as many of the users are the youths. They require sites that are interesting and are easy to use. Facebook has a user-friendly user interface, and its chat mechanism enables it for them to use, even the elder generation.

Analysis of Post One shared on Facebook Facebook is used by people to post pictures and share them with friends.

Poaching is an illegal crime, and many animals get killed. The target audience was the governments’ mainly African countries mostly where there are many cases of poaching. Additionally, the post was addressed to all residents to be vigilant whenever they hear of cases of poaching and report to the relevant authorities. At times, the poachers get released on bail rather than being imprisoned. The photo had been re-shared from the Internet from a past poaching that occurred even though no one gets remanded. Analysis of Post Two shared on Facebook The author also came across a post where another friend had posted a photo of a cake that they were willing to sell.

Despite their localities, different people can reach to other people. Many users and businesses are brought together at a common market where they can share similar ideas and sell their products. Linked and Facebook carries out advertisings of small, mid-sized and top corporations (Power, 2015). They can additionally share differing ideas but work together to reach a common goal.

Conclusion Social media and social networking sites have many advantages in the current world. However, some users are using social media in a negative manner and even tarnishing other people’s names. Privacy has also been breached by use of the social platforms as people are always trying to follow what other people were doing online (He, Glas, & Kosinski, 2014). For instance, many relationships get broken due to excessive use of the social sites. The reason is that that opposite genders might regularly ask the other why they liked another gender’s photos or even commented on their posts. When trying to explain oneself, heated arguments arise, and some even end up breaking up or leading to violent fights. LinkedIn provides one with an option inserts a profile photo. The site is more of a resume about professional people who are looking for jobs and advertising themselves. Having a picture E-SOCIETY 12 in one’s resume may pose as a bad idea when one is applying for a job. Some of the employers may discriminate one from getting a job despite having qualified for the position just because of how they look. Social media has also brought about a lot of fake characters for individuals. Some people lie about their jobs. Others lie that they are single while others lie about their age. For instance in Facebook, some people may fake their photos just to get more followers and friends. The current world determines one's popularity by the number of followers they have or the likes and comments they get from the posts they display. However, we cannot live without social media as it has become a necessity to many people. Additionally, its pros outweigh the cons. E-SOCIETY 13 References Bucher, T. (2015).
