socialnetworking

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups for the purpose of social interaction.

With online social networking, websites are commonly used. These websites are known as social sites or social networking sites.

Social networking websites function like an online community. Online community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, politics, or business.

Popular social networking sites include Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn.

Although the networking is social and not professional, many individuals and groups use social networking for business purposes. Businesses often use social networking sites to connect with consumers as well as other business owners and employees.

You'll find bloggers talking about social networking at sites like Read Write Web and The Earn A Living Online Blog.
