Introduction
Social network is “A social structure made of nodes (which are generally
individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types
of relations…” With the rapid growth of people who use or have access to
the Internet, social networking websites are a must for the Internet
community to stay in touch with each other. Social networking web sites
help people keep in touch with old friends, make new friends, distribute
new data or product, and many more aspects of our everyday lives.

What is Social Media?
 Social media refers to online tools and services which allow an
exchange of ideas, information, videos, pictures, and graphics — just
about anything you can name.
 Social media also allows easy sharing and distribution of existing
content to others so that professional work can be shared through
networks.

What is Social Network?
 We define social network sites as web-based services that allow
individuals to:
1. Construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system,
2. Articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection,
and
3. View and traverse their list of connections and those made by
others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these
connections may vary from site to site.

Working Of SNS
 While SNSs have implemented a wide variety of technical features, their
backbone consists of visible profiles that display an articulated list of
Friends who are also users of the system.
 Profiles are unique pages where one can type oneself into being. After
joining an SNS, an individual is asked to fill out forms containing a
series of questions.

Working Of SNS
 The profile is generated using the answers to these
questions, which typically include descriptions such as
age, location, interests, and an "about me" section.
 Most sites also encourage users to upload a profile photo.
Some sites allow users to enhance their profiles by adding
multimedia content or modifying their profile's look and
feel. Others, such as Facebook, allow users to add
modules ("Applications") that enhance their profile

friends at school and waiting to see them the next day, they just go home and
jump on their favorite social media network and interact with them for the rest
of the day.
