Intended user for social networking

Social networking is yet another online service that is targeted to more or less anyone, provided that they have a device able to access the service, as well as an internet connection and the basic knowledge in using the device and the internet. It can be used by different aged people for varied reasons, for example for teenagers it would be useful for sharing videos and/or pictures, discuss assignments, do group tasks without having to meet up, as well as the fact that they are given the ability to gossip between their social circles, follow their favourite celebrities, sports personalities and also role models. For the older generations, social networking can be used to share photos from recent holidays or events with family, share news articles and create discussions, and find old friends they may not have been in contact with for a while.  For those running businesses, users have the ability to create a page for what their business offers as a method of free advertisement, that anyone using social networking can view, and even follow the company and support the company from.
