Social networking

Have found that social networking can be alot of fun, you can keep up with friends that you have not seen in a very long time or you can keep up with family that live away from you.

Then there is the bad side of social networking, it hurt you as much as it can help you. Some people use it to be really nasty to other people and hurt their feelings. Then, some people use it to express their feelings or their happenings for the day or week.

I found some information from that might come in handy. Hope you enjoy your social networking and r emember please always think before you post.

A social networking service is an online service, platform, or site that focuses on facilitating the building of social networks or social relations among people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks.

By being aware of your cyber-surroundings and who you are talking to, you should be able to safely enjoy social networking online. It will take many phone conversations to get to know someone, but you really won't be able to make a clear judgment until you can meet each other in person.  Just use common sense and listen to your inner voice; it will tell you when something doesn't feel right about the online conversations taking place.
