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.
