  16. What is Social Networking? Any online technology or practice that people or groups of people use to share content, opinions, insights, experiences, perspectives and media.

  17. Social Networking Sites • Web-based services that allow individuals to: • construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, • articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, • view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. Social network sites are unique not because they allow individuals to meet strangers, but rather that they enable users to articulate and make visible their social networks.

  19. Social Networking:Three Basic Elements Identity production Profiles are digital bodies, public displays of identity where people can explore impression management. Because the digital world requires people to write themselves into being, profiles provide an opportunity to craft the intended expression through language, imagery and media. Explicit reactions to their online presence offers valuable feedback.

MySpace and IM have become critical tools for members to maintain "full-time always-on intimate communities" where they keep their friends close even when they're physically separated. Such ongoing intimacy and shared cultural context allows members to solidify their social groups.
