Creating your very own social networking site?
Many internet users of the Web 2.0 generation have become very in touched with the coding and processing of a website. Some have even learnt how to create their very own websites. With the hype revolving around the social networking topic, users have been upgraded to creating their very own social networking site.
Is it possible? Most definitely.
Let me introduce to you : NING.
It is the only website that allows users to a social network within seconds. This website is the key of creating a new social networking site to the user's personal tastes and needs. Wouldn't it be fun having a social networking site just for your family tree or even better, for your course mates; for example; Mass Communication students creating a social networking site just for all the students under this course. A golden move of creating the SNS through this particular website is the step-by-step walk through on how to use it.
1st step
Name your social network site and submit a web address of your choice.
2nd step
Users would be asked to enter their basic information on the NING website. Compulsory information that includes privacy settings, tagline, headlines and etc.
3rd step
Users have a choice of modifying the layout of the social networking site. It's an easy drag and drop process.
And of course, who wouldn't like to choose their very own themes to complete the look of the masterpiece. In this step, they are able to choose a selection of themes and color schemes.
5th step
Users are then given the choice to select a customize profile on the website and on the user's profile.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Weekly Poll Result 7- Would you sign up a SNS for your pet?
The result for week 8's poll shown that most pet owners will not sign up a Social Networking sites for their own pets. This might be due to certain reasons such as they find there is no such need in creating a social networking site for their pet which does not even know how to use the internet.
Out of 11 respondents, 3 of them had chosen the answer yes which is willing to create an online profiule for their pets, while 2 out of 11 respondents are unsure whether to have a social networking site account for their pets. The majority which is 7 respondents out of a total of 11 had firmly chosen their answer which is not to sign up a social networking site for their pets.
Maybe some pet owners find it kiddy and weird to have a social networking site for their pet but their pet do not even know how to use the internet.
After all, it will be still the owner whom does the social networking and for their own purpose. Some are willing to sign up an online profile for their pets due to they find it interesting for pets to network online.

SNS as tools for employers.
The study, which questioned 2,667 managers and human resource workers, found that 35 percent of employers decided not to offer a job to a candidate based on the content uncovered on a social networking site. (The survey has no margin of sampling error because it was not drawn from a representative nationwide sample but rather from volunteer participants.)

Weekly Poll 5 ; Do you read through the terms and conditions before signing up ?
Users of the Internet hardly read up on terms and conditions on any social networking sites unless they have had a habit to do so. Do you read through them, right before you sign up to a social networking site? Are you aware of the policies that the social networking sites carry?
Through our poll of the week, we have encountered the answers for you. It is shown that around 6 persons had answered our poll. Regardless of the number, the knowledge gained from it, would be considered valuable. Out of 6, Only 1 person said they DO (YES) read through the terms and conditions before signing up on a social networking site. And the remaining 5 is divided with 3 persons stating that they SOMETIMES do read through the terms and conditions, where as 2 persons DO NOT (NO) read them at all.

Fuzzster.com started with Mr. Monir whom owns two pet cats named Fenton and McGuirk. He created few online social networking sites for his two beloved pets but almost all of them got deleted. Apparently, friends cant have fur!!? So, he decided to make his own social networking site for people like him who think pet is also a good friend for anybody else. It then slowly evolve to a site where owners make profile pages for pets then for owner to meet.
So, what are the features of Fuzzster.com?
Owners can create a profile for their pets. The can include details such as about the pets, what is the breed or even age. Then owner can snap a nice picture of the pet and upload it to enable others to know how their pets look like. Onwer can also inlude their own photos.
Besides setting up a profile, owners can help their pets to make friends. They can create a list of friends for their pets or a family list for them. Owner can even add the owner and categorize them as Non-Furry friends. Once you are a friend of a pet, u can leave testimony for the pets too.
Moreover, owner can creates blog for his or her pets to keep other owners updated on their beloved pets. Normally owner will choose to blog about the special behaviour of their pets.
Other than posting blogs about pets, owners can upload more pictures for their pets and start commenting on other people's pets photos.
Last but not least, owners can check whether there is new 'pet' started a new profile by checking the recent activity in Fuzzster.com, to keep themselves updated with the current status of others account.
