I will definitely agrue that social network sites is used different for me. I mostly use it to connect with family and friends far away. Most participants use SNSs to find relationships, dates, friends and roommates. SNS is frequently used 24/7 to enhance the ability to meet and greet. I don't believe SNS is never at a 0 usage. Some people sleep at the computer while on social network. The benefits of SNS is the ability to chat with all cultures of all aspects of life.
