Consumers can easily compare the products on the basis of pricing and quality. In this, every day new people explore the products and services, they are provided with every facility but they are not making new friends and connecting through social networking, they are just for consumers and we have to serve them nicely.

This allows users to search for products online and compare prices between vendors. Everyone is using social networking sites for their particular purposes, but when it comes to promoting and increasing the sales of a specific product and warning people about the product.
