Social networking is a group of friends, colleagues and other personal contacts who come together to share similar ideas, activities, business, etc.
What is Social Networking?
Social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, but it is mainly popular online. When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used. These websites are known as social sites and the most popular are:
Facebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues. The site is available in 37 different languages.
Twitter microblogging service that allows members to announce short posts called tweets.
Unlike Facebook or LinkedIn, where members need to approve social connections, anyone can follow anyone onTwitter.
It is limited to 140 characters , but yet it is enough to get your point across.
