Developed by Mark Zuckerberg in the early 2000s, Facebook allows you to be connected with people whom you have not met yet; reconnect with family, friends, and acquaintances; and stay in touch with them. You need to create an account first, followed by listing personal details that you want to be seen by others in your profile. This information can be in private and public, depending on the kind of status you have. You may upload pictures and write your views on the Facebook wall, which may or may not call attention. Your Facebook friends may “like”, react, or comment on your post. Facebook, however, is not limited to individuals, as it is also used nowadays by organizations and companies. It is the fastest way to reach out to others and disseminate information. If a company is going to organize an event, such as a convention, lecture, or symposium, it uses Facebook to spread the information. Many events become successful because of online advertising and announcements. Online postings, such as those in Facebook and Twitter, are also the cheapest way to advertise events and achieve optimum results.  Finally, LinkedIn as a social networking service is used for professional networking. Employers use this site to post job vacancies while interested applicants post their curriculum vitae or resume, LinkedIn is a very effective way to connect professionals and establish professional linkages. When you share your curriculum vitae via LinkedIn, there is no need to post your home address and other personal details. You may just limit your presentation to your professional qualifications, such as your educational background, work experience, and achievements as a professional. This way, you can avoid exposing yourself to some external threats. REFERENCE/S: Read, A. (2023, March 14). 40 Beautiful [Free!] social media icon sets for your website.
