Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the correct answer to

Social networks
Business applications
Social networks connect people at low cost; this can be beneficial for entrepreneurs and small
businesses looking to expand their contact base. These networks often act as a customer
relationship management tool for companies selling products and services. Companies can also
use social networks for advertising in the form of banners and text ads. Since businesses
operate globally, social networks can make it easier to keep in touch with contacts around the
world.
Medical applications
Social networks are beginning to be adopted by healthcare professionals as a means to manage
institutional knowledge, disseminate peer to peer knowledge and to highlight individual
physicians and institutions. The advantage of using a dedicated medical social networking site is
that all the members are screened against the state licensing board list of practitioners. The
role of social networks is especially of interest to pharmaceutical companies who spend
approximately "32 percent of their marketing dollars" attempting to influence the opinion
leaders of social networks.
Languages, nationalities and academia
Compiled by: Nguyen The Nhan

Various social networking sites have sprung up catering to different languages and countries.
The popular site Facebook has been cloned for various countries and languages and some
specializing in connecting students and faculty.
Social networks for social good
Several websites are beginning to tap into the power of the social networking model for social
good. Such models may be highly successful for connecting otherwise fragmented industries
and small organizations without the resources to reach a broader audience with interested and
passionate users. Users benefit by interacting with a like-minded community and finding a
channel for their energy and giving.
Business model
Few social networks currently charge money for membership. In part, this may be because
social networking is a relatively new service, and the value of using them has not been firmly
established in customers' minds. Companies such as MySpace and Facebook sell online
advertising on their site. Hence, they are seeking large memberships, and charging for
membership would be counter productive. Some believe that the deeper information that the
sites have on each user will allow much better targeted advertising than any other site can
currently provide. Sites are also seeking other ways to make money, such as by creating an
online marketplace or by selling professional information and social connections to businesses.
Privacy issues
On large social networking services, there have been growing concerns about users giving out
too much personal information and the threat of sexual predators. Users of these services need
to be aware of data theft or viruses. However, large services, such as MySpace, often work with
law enforcement to try to prevent such incidents. In addition, there is a perceived privacy
threat in relation to placing too much personal information in the hands of large corporations
or governmental bodies, allowing a profile to be produced on an individual's behavior on which
decisions, detrimental to an individual, may be taken.
Investigations
Social network services are increasingly being used in legal and criminal investigations.
Information posted on sites such as MySpace and Facebook, has been used by police, probation,
and university officials to prosecute users of said sites. In some situations, content posted on
MySpace has been used in court.
