Social Networking

                 A network is defined as “a group or system of interconnected people or things”. It is like
                 an invisible thread which are connects you with your family, friends, and relatives. In the
                 computer world, network refers to the group of two or more computers connected by
                 physical or wireless connections.
                 You must have heard people use 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.
                 Social networking allows people  with  common interests or
                 activities to connect with each other. They are an immense store
                 of knowledge and information as experiences of people from
                 across the world are shared. However, these services are generally
                 considered a source of distraction from education for students.

                 Etiquettes  are  the  rules that  are expected  to  be  followed  while  meeting others  or

                 communicating with others. In Online communication, you may not be face to face with
                 the person. There may be a situation when the person may misunderstand your remark.
                 In order to avoid misunderstanding, a set of rules have been designed which are expected
                 to be followed during Online conversation. This set of rules is known as Netiquettes.
                 It basically stands for Network Etiquettes.
