In order to have a fair point of view in case of the social networks we have to look for both advantages and disadvantages equally. For example using the social networks in the work environment could have some concerns and also some benefits for employers. The good impact would be in the social performance between the staff and the negative impact is personal using of the social network websites.

As an important positive effect on the business environment we can consider the social networks as a tool of communication between management and employees. (Breslin, T. (2009, September). When social networking enters the workplace) Some of the most popular Social Network Websites There are more than two hundred social network websites which they are created for different purposes for different kind of users but here we can point out to two major social network sites which are more popular.
