This article discusses the negative effects on how social networks effect people from getting jobs or not.  A teen was trying to get work experience for a job.  When he went in, they took a look at all of his social networks to see what kind of person he really was.  When they saw one comment with violent language and talking negatively, they no longer wanted him.  That's all it takes is one little comment or one little statement to mess up your chances in getting a job.  "Please be aware that your entries on social media reflect on you, and that potential employers do take them into account when considering your interest. Responsibility does matter." is what an MP said to the teen who was trying to get a job.  Your twitter, facebook, and other social networks really do come into effect when getting a professional job.
I really do believe that the social networking does have a huge effect when getting a job or being apart of any professional organization because when you become apart of something, you then are a part of that company, or group.  So when they look at your social networks, they will not only judge you they will be judging your company or group.  Whatever company is wanting you, wants you to be preseantable not only for yourself but to everyone.

This article discusses if social networking does help with real relationships.  There is two people who just happened to add each other as friends from knowing each other back in middle school.  When they got to talking and chatting they realized how much they had in common and grew to like each other more and more and developed a real relationship. 
i really do believe that relationships can kindle through social networks but then again, sometimes it could be really dangerous.  I'd say if at all possible to avoid having relationships with people through the internet.  People can be the total opposute in person compared to who they are on the internet.  If you happen to be that lucky one to find your soul mate then go for it.  I wish I actually knew of someone who gained a real healthy relationship with someone through the internet, but I do not.  To me, internet dating and relationships are just too sketchy and not real trustworthy unless you actually already know that person.
