                   SOCIAL NETWORKING

              A network is defined as “a group or system of interconnected
              people or things”. It is like an invisible thread which 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 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.
              These sites let us create profiles and maintain personal and professional relationships online.

              Social Media, on the other hand, is a means to communicate and share information with a vast audience
              through websites. You can publish images, videos, etc. and attract followers. The purpose of such sites
              is to create buzz and curiosity among the public directly or indirectly. Some examples are YouTube,
              television and newspaper.

              Social networking is also a significant opportunity for marketers seeking to engage customers. Facebook
              remains the largest and most popular social network.  Other popular platforms are  Instagram, X,
              WhatsApp, TikTok, and Pinterest.

              Let us understand the different types of social media with how we post or write messages on the
              different apps. You are making a sculpture. You want to let people know about it. This is how you will

              post your message on different apps.
