This dissertation explores Social Networking Sites. IT Dissertation Topics. Social Networking web sites such as Facebook are extremely popular, however, we have very little understanding as to why people use these sites and what they get out of the whole experience. The purpose of this research project is to analyse patterns of use in social network sites to fully understand their attraction by looking at what motivates users to use such websites. Briefly social networking sites allow for users to interact with friends, comment on walls, send private messages, upload photos, build friendship networks etc. in a virtual environment. It is not fully understood what motivates users to use such a site, what benefits one achieves from the usage of a social network site etc. These are only two of many questions that need be answered. This research project combines qualitative (opinion, message, content) etc. and quantitative (numbers, statistics) methods to retrieve results through a survey.
