Social Network and Basic Sciences in Post-Graduation: A Student perspective

Abstract

The Social networking sites, Twitter, and blogs has been remarkable. Clearly, these sites have permeated our daily lives. As social media usage with mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet devices increases, it has gained attention to communicate in emergency situations such as natural disasters. Moreover, many researchers consider Social networking sites as promising tools for gathering information to learn about the state of the disaster site and victims’ requirements. This is attributed to social media characteristics such as the immediate and extensive dissemination of information. Therefore, various studies continue, for example, those that analyse posts on micro blogging sites after major disasters or that develop applications for utilizing Twitter Another characteristic of Social networking sites is to share information via social feedback such as through retweeting and pressing the like button (liking) easily. When users who view, original posts share this information with others not connected to the original user, the posts are immediately and widely disseminated. However, sharing information is not always useful in emergency situations. Sharing incorrect or inappropriate information interferes with the distribution of useful information regarding responses to emergency situations
