Social Networking
Society is a community of people who are linked to each other by some common platform. Being social,
literally means being attached to people in society and adhering to its rules. Being social with hundreds of
people over the Internet is social networking. In computer, social networking refers to a link of hundreds
of people around the world on Internet.
It is the network of different people who form communities among themselves to share sentiments,
relationships, topics, ideas or topics of common interest. These people may be linked to each other
because of some type of association among them. This association like that of profession, school or
college, conference, training group, etc. might have been in past, present or may be in future.
Social networking has encouraged new ways of communication among people from different corners
of the world. It forms a bigger network when two people in contact start sharing their thoughts or their
profiles through net with each and these two people further share their thoughts with other people they
are connected with.
