How are web-users connected to their community based web-site/profile? What kind of value do we place on the web space, along with collection of contacts accumulated through hours of work?

Web users have pushed the popularity of community based web-sites, such as Myspace.com, Friendster.com, multi-player online games, dating web-sites etc. These sites posses a strong potential to bring web-users from different places all over the world to a community which they can socialize and share ideas. Saving time and resources seem to be the main benefits besides community connection. In light of this, I would like to consider some of the negative aspects of these web-based communities, along with looking at the mean or place that it may take place in a user's life

• Dealing with a large bombardment of promotion and advertising.


• Hours wasted viewing information that may be irrelevant or false.


• Users lie about themselves or create false altered-egos on the net.
