Friends make up our social network. This gets bigger when
you get acquainted with others and this in essence is social networking.
But social networking does not end there. It also goes to
specific groups like people who share a common interest or hobby. In fact, the
most popular one around these days are those found online because you get to
meet individuals from other places.
For this to work, someone has to organize the group and in
order for it to grow, other people are invited to join. With the web at your
disposal, this means creating a website.
These websites are better known as social sites and are very
similar to online communities. To become a member, you have to share a common
interest be it a hobby, politics or religion. Once your request for membership
has been approved, you will be able to socialize by reading the profile of
other members and getting in touch with them.
The advantage of joining a specialized social network is
that you are sure that all the members share the same interests. Before
hundreds of these appeared, people had to contend with “traditional” social
networking where those who join may not have to share the same interests to
become a member.
But once you are in, you can develop your own social network
by finding individuals who share your interests which will take some time and
effort.
An interesting feature about social networking is that members
who join a site can create their own webpage. This will make people who see
your profile want to get to know you which expands your social network.
