I joined a group named Girls Love Travel because this group is a global community of active and aspiring female travelers providing resources and empowerment to one another through safety, socializing and support. I can share my experiences, information and recommendations to go about  travel with Girls all over the world, and it was attractive for me. I asked them "Which do you better, traveling alone or traveling with someone? Why? I haven't traveled alone, so I would like to hear your experience of traveling alone.
Second, I joined a group on Facebook named Photography Beginners because I want to see many pictures people all over the world take. Then, I posted a picture I had taken in Riverside.
This experience to participate in groups on Facebook is great. At first, I was nervous because I expected that nobody will comment. However, many people gave me feedback ( more than 15 comments ), and they are effective and new for me. I really appreciate for providing the opportunity to join groups online with us. Thank you, Professor!
Strengths and weaknesses of using Social Media Networks and online communities/groups to facilitate business networking and potential market research.
-I think targeted advertising is one of the strength of utilizing Social Media Networks. Although social media can be used to spread a company's message for free, fee-based advertising options are also available. One of the best aspects of social networking is the ability to deliver your content only to those users with the most potential interest in your product or service. Each social platform enables a business to deliver specific content to a very specific target group. This approach can maximize targeted reach while minimizing waste. 
On the other hand, the weakness of using Social Media Networks and online communities is the possibility of backlash. There are jokes among friends and community members online, but the joke with the world at-large is much different. Once potentially offensive content is posted online, the amount of feedback can be excessive and is often brutal. This backlash can also have a long-term impact on a person's future, especially in remaining them over the net in-a-lifetime.
