Abstract

The social networks seen from different spaces indicate that, beyond the problems that can arise due to their misuse, there are more benefits that they can bring to different communication spaces, for which certain processes and good practices must be taken into account. We must learn to use social networks for the benefit of social, commercial, public and private environments.
