Feb. 7 In class assignment
After reviewing several of the alternative social networking sites posted on the class blog, I am not sure it would be a good tool to use to contact the targeted groups of people. From what I could see from a guest pass, the pages are set up with limited white space and there is a lot of information on each page. There is information from member of the day to changing ads, personals and thumbnail photos of some members. I think the page is too busy and when a member signs in they are going to look at the information they regularly check and not pay attention to the rest because it is hard to glean good information from. Most of it is just clutter and an experienced user would most likely just pass the first page and get on with their networking.
I have seen that some people on Facebook use their accounts to further their causes. I think having people join these networking sites and develop friendships and networks would be a good way to infiltrate the society. This way they would be getting the information from a trusted friend rather than a cold advertisement available to everyone.
My client is Student Computing Services at Washington State University and I think we could use these social networks to contact people in the same way we use Facebook. SCS has formed several fan groups and whenever they have an event they contact all of the members of the related group and give them all of the information.
I don't think these sites differ much from myspace or facebook besides the fact that they are more exclusive. Myspace and Facebook are for everyone, while these networks appeal to people who fit into the categories. As a heterosexual Caucasian I would not have any reason to join any of the social networks posted on the blog because I don't fit into the profile. At the same time, I don't know that I would join a social network that was exclusively for heterosexual Caucasians either, because I don't want to place limits on my social interactions.
I think a pr agency would find both all inclusive social networks in addition to exclusive social networks helpful, depending on what they are trying to promote and to whom.
