Why Online Social Networking Are So Popular
There are hundreds of social networking sites in cyberspace and you can become a member in any of them. Is it a trend? A lot of people say this is not so because it is the best way to connect people with the same or similar interests in spite of your age and gender.
Connecting people is attaining by putting yourself out there. This means creating an account and telling a little bit about yourself which is like launching you in front of the class. With other features like blogging tools, uploading photos, videos and music, joining forums and writing comments, you get to personalize it and tell people more about who you are which is something that a lot of people value.
But perhaps another reason why online social networking sites are so popular and have thousands of members is the fact that it is free. You can post just about anything online as long as it is not pornographic although some social networking sites allow that.
It is also very popular among businessmen because they are able to use it to promote their business. Although there are other means to do that, why pay for it when you can advertise for free while you are a member.
To strain that point, one study shows that 41% of the members of a certain social networking sites are IT professionals. These persons use it to gain business contacts and gain knowledge about technology.
It is very similar to how sellers want to expand markets. They no longer have to go door to door to make a sale but other means to get similar results. A good example is someone who joins a networking site, joins a discussion, sees an opportunity and then takes it. If that member was able to offer quality service, other people will be involved in availing the same products or services as well.
Recruiters have also found better uses for the social networks because it enables them to find the right people whenever there is a job opening. In its place of waiting for an applicant to send their resume after posting an ad in the print magazine, they can get referrals of people who are qualified to take on the job without spending any money.
There are some who say that the popularity of social networks will finally kill web searching. But specialists in the industry say that this is not possible because Google which happens to be one of the biggest search engines around and has market capitalization bigger than that General Motors or Ford will not allow that to happen.
Social networking sites are here to stay because sideways from maintaining contacts with presented friends and making new ones, there are other things that members can do with it. It just takes someone to think out of the box to find some better use for it which will be welcomed by the public.

Why is it called soliciting when you answer someones question?
I posted an answer to someone question, I gave them my business network site, cause they wanted to know about online opportunies. then I got a email from yahoo answer saying in was inviolation, and was docked 10 points.
added;
Well it shouldn’t be soliciting when the persons question was asking about opportunities. It should only be soliciting when your answer doesn’t pertain to the question. The site I referred to is a home based business social site. It has alot of good info and opportunties.
It was considered soliciting because you gave out a link to your own site. That’s often risky and reported as soliciting. It was reported by other Yahoo! Answers users… likely 2 or more. You’re better off putting the link in your Yahoo! Answers profile, rather than posting the link with a question or answer.
