Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, Google+ and LinkedIn are examples of wildly popular networks used to find and organize contacts. The study also tries to find out the type of media they are using to contact for the networking and their preference in online social networking sites. It also finds out how they are behaving in the groups and associations. Social networking is beneficial for its users for their future contacts among themselves. Nowadays, many social networking sites are available around the globe; mainly youth focused sites like Facebook.com and MySpace. Many people are now using different types of media according to their status of life to spend their time, such as mobile phones, television, the Internet. The research design used for the study is descriptive. This study provides information about the relationship among the users about their social and personal life i.e., how they are developing social networking among their friends and the families. The descriptive research includes surveys and fact-finding enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is the description of existing state of affairs. In this study, both primary and secondary data have been used. For the primary data, a structured questionnaire consisting of close-ended questions to extract the view points of the respondents has been used.
