MARKETING AND ADVERTISING:
Facebook: has increased advertising and buisness on the web. They have allow companies to connect and keep up to date on each other thus increasing their and the markets production and buyer rate. They have advertisements off to the right side on all app pages.

Twitter: Very few people advertise through twitter because of the fact no one really sees the advertisement unless they are on at that moment. Twitter has little impact on the marketing front.

Google+ : Has also had a impact on advertising by adding advertisements to some of their pages. They do not have as much impact on the buisness front but still help out some small buisness owners.

Myspace: Has many advertisements off to the side like facebook. Since they are a falling trend not as many buisness owners go to them to connect with other companies.

Myspace: not really politically inclined most political pages are held by third party organizations that keep up to date on recent events.

IMPACT ON PRIVACY AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH:
Facebook: Though secure to an extent in truth you have more information available than you may like through them. Freedom of speech is not prohibited.

Twitter: Though has privacy standers it has actually very little privacy because everyone can see what you say. It does not prohibit freedom of speech on bit even though it has a small character limit.

Myspace: It is private but like facebook has issues. It does have speech prohibiting to and extent. It does not allow harrassment of explicit use of words.
