Social Networking

Users connect with people, friends, family, coworkers and share information, pictures, videos, even invitations.  There are also social groups that are formed. In social networking, you are able to market products, parties and even exchanging information for ultimate networking.  Some of the most interesting discussions are conducted on social networking sites, to where a single-thread may extend for days, because the discussion is interesting. Sites such as MySpace, Eons, Beho, hi5, and of course Facebook, are prime examples of the social networking sites that may of us have become addicted to.  There are around 151 millions user of facebook, which equals 51% of the population of the USA.  Through these sites, other services such as instant messaging and real-time chat are offered. 

To get onto one of these social networks, you have to create a profile and begin requesting and confirming friends.   When Facebook first started, users had to have a college email address in order to sign up for it.  Now, anyone can have a facebook account.  As you begin to confirm and deny friends, you network expands - spanning from continent to continent, sea to sea.  I am a member of facebook and I have about 1800 friends, more than one of my daughters!  Most of my friends are people I don't know, but met on facebook, or through one of the gaming networks facebook offers. What I like most about facebook is the status updates and the games. The ability to be encouraging or encouraged is also a great plus!
