Technologies such as Twitter have been used in the way people express themselves freely through words and "memes,"a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users as described by Dictionary.com. The benefits these technologies have for society as Nicole Ellison pointed out in Is MySpace Good For Society, "Anecdotal evidence of positive outcomes from these technologies — such as political activities organized via Facebook or jobs found through LinkedIn — is well-known, but now a growing corpus of academic research on social networks sites supports this view as well. The "dark side" of these technologies is the permanent damage it can do to a individual's career and/or well-being as a female at Hofstra University was called names such as "slut" and "whore" on a college gossip website, JuicyCampus in which "gender- and sex-specific harassment has interfered with her ability to learn in an environment of equal educational opportunity." These technologies might evolve in the future as guidelines for representing companies may become stricter than previously enforced.
