Social networking can open up professional opportunities and create useful contacts. But there is also a downside to spending too much time on social media.

Social Networking is used in businesses all the time. It's almost a must for every business to have one, and it gives them an edge.

But for the commonfolk, how they use their social media can actually negatively affect their worklife.

I've seen friends post pictures of them naked, or high and drunk, and posting rashly. Posting rashly is probably the worst on the list because AMY CHEONG. Posting rashly, or "Venting"/"ranting" online can backfire very, very easily. Even if your account is protected, all it takes is a screenshot from one of your followers, and then your post can go viral the way Amy Cheong's did.

WHEN Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com in Feb 2004, even he could not imagine the forces it...

Do you guys still remember how it was like in the past, when social media didn't exist? It's really changed how we live, and facebook was the one that started it all.

Yes, there was friendster and myspace, but it was facebook that really changed the way we interacted online. From facebook stemmed all sorts of other social media that rapidly changed the internet landscape and made connecting easier, faster, and basically, it changed how we lived.

I still miss the old days where you would have to dial your friend, or text message to find out how their lives have been because there was more sincerity there.
