What else could online social networking be used for?

[Poker Face]

I need to expand on an essay i'm writing seeing what other uses social networking can be used for.
My first topic would be a media, but thats all I got. Can someone help me find two more other uses?

School and work help. If you forgot that days homework, you can talk with a friend. Also, too keep in touch with Friends and relatives.

Media is quite the broad topic. If you can segment that into separate categories, it may benefit you more.

Advertising is a big one. If you're ever on Facebook, mention something like "Angry birds" and watch the ads come up on the side.

Dating is another. It's HUGE.

Staying connected with family is a big one.

I also think it works as an alternative for people who aren't blessed enough to be able to socialize by any other means.


Hope I helped.

Attract venture capitalists with too much money in their pockets, likes flies are attracted to s**t.
