Business applications
Social networks connect people at low cost; this can be beneficial for entrepreneurs and small
businesses looking to expand their contact base. These networks often act as a customer
relationship management tool for companies selling products and services. Companies can also
use social networks for advertising in the form of banners and text ads. Since businesses operate
globally, social networks can make it easier to keep in touch with contacts around the world.
Medical applications
Social networks are beginning to be adopted by healthcare professionals as a means to manage
institutional knowledge, disseminate peer to peer knowledge and to highlight individual physicians
and institutions. The advantage of using a dedicated medical social networking site is that all the
members are screened against the state licensing board list of practitioners. The role of social
networks is especially of interest to pharmaceutical companies who spend approximately "32
percent of their marketing dollars" attempting to influence the opinion leaders of social networks.
Languages, nationalities and academia
Various social networking sites have sprung up catering to different languages and countries. The
popular site Facebook has been cloned for various countries and languages and some
specializing in connecting students and faculty.
