The Internet: The Power of Social Networking

Social Networking.
One of the main triumphs of the internet, and by social networking, i dont mean 'Oh my god, lets talk about everyone behind there backs on facebook', yes, Facebook is a prestigious Social Network and has a lot of power, but it is really just ruined by the many prepubescent retards that use that site.

Social Network, the word itself, does sort of surround itself with bad publicity, not as in, BAD, but i mean, its stereotyped as bad, websites like Facebook, and beforehand, Bebo and Myspace, were stereotyped to be full of silly twofaced children, and most adults on these websites are as bad, but Social Networking is an amazingly powerful tool if you seek out the sensible people, or the blindingly hopeless people that just follow trends.

Recent evidence of this power of social networking is Invisible Children and the Kony 2012 thing.
This spiraled out of control, and very rapidly into being viral, due to the help of Social Networks.
Now if websites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Google Plus didnt exist, there is no way this charity would have got as much publicity as they did.

Twitter is a very powerful tool, you can spiral the world out of control in under 140 characters.
Some people have broken there careers due to this micro blogging beauty, and it is amazingly powerful.
Practically every celebrity alive has a Twitter account that they regularly use, as its easy to keep in touch with fans via the website.

Tumblr is also another powerful tool for getting things viral, obviously, very similar to Twitter in the way that you can reach out to a niche of people, with the removal of the limit of these 140 characters, but with a much smaller audience.

Twitter is usually the expressions of short and snappy and precise wordplay.
Tumblr is usually more of the visual attractiveness that gets things viral, typography is a powerful tool.

Another website that i could never fault is Reddit, this website is incredibly active and seem to have a massive impact on the internet, the power that the Redditors have throughout the internet is immense, and they alone have the power to completely make and break peoples careers.

There are obviously a few websites that are quite infamous, such as 4chan, that have literally destroyed peoples lives with their power, but i cant fault them, most the people they cause mayhem with deserve it, aswell as bringing a smile to our faces with the many meme's they have created on their boards.

Aswell as the Bronie subculture that has derived from their website, they arent all bad, even if they are actually quite feared throughout the internet.

Then their are websites that dedicate themselves to brightening our day, that are also incredibly powerful and can make things viral, websites like FunnyJunk and, dear i say it.. 9GAG.

The internet is a scary and interesting place, just behave yourself and dont act too retarded.
