                 Social Networking

                 A social networking service is an online platform that enables individuals with similar interests or
                 activities to connect and interact. It allows users to share thoughts, ideas, and suggestions, as well
                 as multimedia content such as audio, video, and images, with friends and contacts. Additionally,

                 many social networking sites offer features that enable users to create and join groups based on
                 shared interests.
                 You  may  have heard  of  Facebook, the
                 most popular  social networking  site.

                 Others gaining popularity include Tumblr,
                 Instagram, and  X. These  sites  are also
                 used for  marketing  and serve as vast
                 sources of knowledge and information
                 as people from around the world share
                 their experiences. However, they are often
                 seen as a distraction  from education  for
                 students.  Here’s  what  the  most popular
                 social networking service, Facebook, looks
                                                                                       Facebook
                 like.
                 Facebook allows you to create a brief profile about yourself, including your photos, likes, and
                 dislikes. You can maintain a list of your friends, share your thoughts and ideas, and view posts
                 from your friends and their connections.
                 Newsgroup

                 In an online community, a newsgroup is a type of discussion group focused on a specific topic of

                 interest to all participants. Members share their thoughts and opinions on the topic and respond
                 to each other’s comments, creating an ongoing dialogue. A person known as the News Admin
                 typically manages the newsgroup. The News Admin oversees participant comments, facilitates
                 the conclusion of discussions, and approves comments or articles before they are posted on the
                 newsgroup page.
