The term social networking has gained the popularity over the past few years. Bebo and Myspace were the popular social networking sites, but later Facebook took the place. Now a days, Facebook has millions of new users signing up everyday. The biggest benefit of facebook is that it is totally free of cost so, it is exploded in the popularity. This social networking website provides the same wide range of choice which the dating agencies perform, with the capability to search for the profiles and to check the profile pages which are user friendly with the pictures of the individual user. It would appear in a way that these social networking sites overlap in the target audience, same is the relation between the internet dating and social networking. Either complementary or in conflict. How does the popularity of any social networking site like facebook can affect the franchise of internet dating?
One aspect of the social networking which is very complimentary to the internet dating is the capability of the users of internet dating to use facebook as a medium to check the legitimacy of those people with whom they talk to. While it is fairly simple to create a fake profile on any dating website with using fake pictures in it, If an user can show his/her active facebook account with several friends to those people, then it would be easier to prove the dating profile as authentic.
The main difference between these two is the cost issue. As Facebook is totally free, majority of the people would choose to use this social networking site over any paid website meant for dating. It is a great challenge which the dating websites face from the social networking websites. But the dating agencies usually offer a more buffed up service, specifically aimed at those users who are searching for their soul mate or partner. On the other hand, social networking sites like Facebook is multi-purpose, so the users who are searching for their soul mate can easily bump into the other users who are not at all interested in any kind of romantic relationship.
The paid dating services are also able to provide an adult dating service to the users to discuss the sexual matters candidly and so that the partners can find out their partners according to the sexual compatibility. Social networking websites do not allow this service as these are completely family service. So, in this context, two separate services accompany one another very nicely as one can look after the individual in the sexual capacity while another looks after the individual in a family oriented context. So, the conclusion is that despite being so different in nature, these two sites can coexist really well.
