                 Apart from communication, the Internet also provides some advanced features such as social
                 networking, cloud storage, blogging, and podcasting. In this chapter, you will learn about social
                 networking sites, blogging, e-banking, RSS feeds, and podcasting.

                 SOCIAL NETWORKING


                 A network is defined as “a group or system of interconnected
                 people or things.” It is like an invisible thread that connects
                 you with your family, friends, and relatives. In the computer
                 world, a network is a group of two or more computers
                 connected by physical or wireless connections.

                 You must have heard people using the terms like a social
                 person, a  social butterfly,  etc. A  social person  or being
                 social is often used for those who like to be around people
                 or who are friendly with everyone. They like to go to parties
                 and spend time with people.

                 When we combine the two terms social and network, we get social networking. It refers to a website
                 or web-based application through which one can create a profile and get acquainted with other users.
