Introduction

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision if you will. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in schools or in the workplace, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other internet users and develop friendships and business relationships, too. When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used. These websites are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users.

At the moment, a disconnect between the life of the brand, its representatives and buyers in the community media. Representatives on the front lines in the media community are arguably not versed in the components that define the character emblem, the purpose and value. It is also reasonable that many of these representatives are not involved in the trials and choices facing people who are trying to place and hire (Schwartz, H. and Davis, S. 1981). As a result, their activities and phrases are diluted through the reinforcement of one by one, the personality traits that do not agree, transmit, or strengthen or voice characteristics representing the emblem.
