I believe social networking sites can be a big attraction to losers with no lives. So someone may have 1000's of online friends who they randomly add to make themselves appear to be popular but they are actually a loser with no friends and no life. No one really cares what's in your profile and all those stupid updates you make all the time, every day. People can be anyone they want due to the anonymity of the internet.
Social networking sites have some benefits for people who casually use them to keep in touch with friends and family. But the costs of these sites far outweigh the benefits. Social networking sites allows for pedophiles, stalkers, fraudsters and online scammers who can easily access your private/confidential information if you are stupid enough to put too much in your profiles. Even employers can check people's profiles on social networking sites to find out more about a particular person. Be careful what you post on a social networking site it may come back to haunt you big time.
