e -Group

                 It refers to the group of people who are in
                 correspondence (in touch) with each other via Internet, on
                 the topics of common interest. It is a forum of electronic
                 mailing of  different  individuals who  send  mails to  each
                 other inside the group.

                 In computing,  the  term ‘Group’ generally  refers to  a
                 grouping or community of users.

                 e-Group is a group where people with a shared interest
                 meet, get to know each other and stay informed on the
                 net. It allows new users to create their own mailing lists
                 and also allow others to sign up for membership on the list. It is mainly used to maintain security, by
                 granting access rights to the users of different groups instead of individual users.

                 Any group can give you instant access to share message archives, photo and photo albums, group event
                 calendars, member polls and shared links. Eg: Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, etc. By using such groups,
                 a user can instantly discuss about a topic online or over e-mail.

                 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.

                 When these two begin to contact the persons who are further in contact with other people, then the
                 number of people in relationship increases. For example, if A is in contact with B and A is also in contact
                 with C, and if B comes in contact with C, then it forms a network.



                                                                                                  Networking     35
