social networking

In the past year social networking has taken the online world by storm.Social networking is undoubtedly the internet buzzword and activity of the moment, continuing to grow with startling speed each day; social networking websites, such as MySpace and Bebo, attract more than two million visitors every month.The idea behind social networking is to let users build online profiles that advertise their interests and to help them connect with a network of friends.Users are also encouraged to share their own content online, including photos, videos, music, and other digital files. YouTube, for example, allows users to upload videos for others to view and comment on.Just like instant messaging, chat rooms, forums and blogs, social networking has become a powerful way for people to communicate online - and another place for people to spend their time online.
