Social Networking Websites
Social networking websites are free online services that allow you and all the people you know—and all the people they know—to connect with each other online. Using a social networking website can be a good way to stay in touch with part of your network.
Social networking websites allow you to: - create a personal profile that functions like a home page
- post images, notes or articles to the people in your network who use the same site. You can also invite others to join your network
- receive news, messages and images from the people in your network and invitations to join other people’s networks
- contact a person you don’t know through someone you both know.
Even though it’s virtual, a social networking website is still a community. It works on trust, the same way an offline network does. Invite only people you know and trust into your network. Because security and confidentiality are always an issue online, be sure to review the privacy policy of any website before you register. Check out these social networking websites:
