Abstract

Social Network Sites (SNS) as a part of Web 2.0 gain
increasing importance in social life. There are different types of
SNS being more or less adapted to the requirements of
professionals. For a selection of six SNS features and services were
regarded in respect to the applicability in the professional life,
using medical physicists as an example. Services as groups,
calendar, literature services, and career functions prove to be of
particular convenience. As all Web 2.0 services SNS depend on
the contributions and operations of their users.
