A social networking service is an online platform that allows users to build social networks by connecting with other users who share interests and activities. Key features include user profiles, the ability to connect with friends and view their profiles, sharing content, and interacting through messaging. While social networks help users connect globally, they also raise privacy and safety issues that users must be aware of.

10. What is a Social Networking
Service?
 A social networking service is an online service,
platform, or site that focuses on building and
reflecting of social networks or social relations among
people, who, for example, share interests and/or
activities.

11.  A social Network service consists of
representation of each user (often a
profile), his/her social links, and a variety
of additional services.
 Most social network services are web-
based and provide means for users to
interact over the internet, such as e-mail
and instant messaging.
 Social Networking sites allow users to
share ideas, activities, events and
interests within their individual networks.

12.  Social networking sites share a variety of
technical features. The most basic of these are
visible profiles with a list of “friends” who are also
users of the site.
 A profile is generated from answers to questions,
such as age, location, interests, etc. Some sites
allow users to upload pictures, add multimedia
content or modify the look and feel of the profile.
 Others, e.g. FACEBOOK, allow users to enhance
their profile by adding modules or “Applications”.
Many sites allow users to post blog entries, search
for others with similar interests and compile and
share lists of contacts.

13.  User profiles often have a section dedicated to
comments from friends and other users. To
protect user privacy, social networks typically
have controls that allow users to choose who can
view their profile, contact them, add them to their
list of contacts and so on.
 Some social networks have the ability to create
groups that share common interests or
affiliations, upload or stream live videos, and
hold discussions in forums.

14.  Web-based social networking services make
it possible to connect people who share
interests and activities across political,
economic and geographic boarders.
Through e-mail and instant messaging,
online communities are created where a gift
economy and reciprocal altruism are
encouraged through cooperation.
Information is particularly suited to gift
economy, as information is a nonrival good
and can be gifted at practically no cost.

25. TRIVIA
 Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his
college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin,
Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[8] The Web site's
membership was initially limited by the founders to
Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in
the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It
gradually added support for students at various other
universities before opening to high school students, and
eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, based on
ConsumersReports.org in May 2011, there are 7.5 million
children under 13 with accounts, violating the site's terms
of service.

27.  Social networking is allowing scientific groups to
expand their knowledge base and share ideas, and
without these new means of communicating modern
science theories might become “isolated and irrelevant.
A final rise in social network use is being driven by
college students using the service to network with
professionals for internship and job opportunities.
Many studies have been done on the effectiveness of
networking online in a college setting.

28.  Social Networks are being used by teachers and
students as a communication tool. Because many
students are already using a wide range of social
networking sites, teachers have begun to
familiarize themselves with this trend and are now
using it to their advantage. Teachers and professors
are doing everything from creating chat-room
forums and groups to extend classroom discussions
to posing assignments, tests and quizzes, to
assisting with homework outside of the classroom
setting. Social networks are also being used to
foster teacher-parent communication. These sites
make it possible and more convenient for parents
to ask questions and voice concerns without having
to meet face-to-face.

29.  Through data mining, companies are able to
improve their sales and profitability. With this data,
companies create customer profiles that contain
customer demographics and online behavior. Social
Networks has been especially important to
marketing strategists. Social networks’ “Social Ads”
program gives companies access to the millions of
profiles in order to tailor their ads to a social
network user’s own interests and hobbies.

30.  Put simply, social networking is a way for one
person to meet up with other people on the
internet. That’s not all though. Some people
use social networking sites for meeting new
friends on the Net. Other’s use it to find old
friends. Then there are those who use it to find
people who have the same problems or
interests they have, this is called Niche
Networking. Following this trend is the
emerging trend of people meeting online to
meet offline. More and more relationships and
friendships are being formed online and then
carried to an offline/in person setting.

31. Privacy Issues
 Privacy concerns with social networking services have
been raised growing concerns amongst users on the
dangers of giving out too much personal information and
the threat of sexual predators. Users of these services also
need to be aware of data theft or viruses.
 There is also an issue over the control of data—
information that was altered or removed by the user may
in fact be retained and/or passed to third parties.

32. Potential For Misuse
 Online bullying, also called cyber-bullying , is a
relatively common occurrence and it can often result
in trauma for the victim. There are not many
limitations as to what individuals can post when
online. Individuals are given the power to post
offensive remarks or pictures that could potentially
cause a great amount of emotional pain for another
individual.

33. Interpersonal Communication
 Interpersonal communication has been a growing
issue as more people have turned to social networking
as a means of communication. The convenience that
social network sites give users to communicate with
one another can also damage their interpersonal
communication. There is the risk that we come to see
others as objects to be accessed—and only for the parts
we find useful, comforting or amusing. Furthermore,
social network sites can create insincere friendships.

34. Risk for child safety
Citizens and governments have been concerned by a misuse
by a child and teenagers of social networking services, in
particular in relation to online sexual predators. A certain
number of actions have been engaged by governments to
better understand the problem and find some solutions. A
2008 panel concluded that technological fixes such as age
verification and scans are relatively ineffective means of
apprehending online predators. In May 2010, a child
pornography social networking site with hundreds of
members was dismantled by law enforcement. It was
deemed “the largest crimes against children”.

47. In October 2006, a fake MySpace profile created in the name of Josh Evans by Lori Janine
Drew led to the suicide. Megan hung herself, a story broke in the media linking a
MySpace hoax with her death.
Supposedly, Megan had spread gossip about a former friend that lived just four houses
away from her. In retaliation, Lori Drew (the mother of the girl), her assistant, and the
girl created a faux MySpace account. The account was for a non-existing sixteen year old
male named, “Josh Evans.” “Josh” contacted Megan and began an online friendship. The
tone of the messages soon changed from positive, flirtatious, and uplifting to negative
attacks. Lori Drew, as Josh, posted bulletins, shared private messages, etc.. in an effort to
defame and embarrass Megan. Megan told her mother what “Josh” had done, but her
mother admits that she was most upset by the foul language Megan had used to respond
to “Josh.”
The last messages taken from Megans‘ computer read: “Everybody in O’Fallon knows
how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your
life. The world would be a better place without you.” Meier responded to “Josh” with:
“You’re the kind of boy a girl would kill herself over.” Megan was found hanging in her
room just twenty minutes after the last message was sent.
When the hoax first hit the associated press, Lori Drew claimed it was all just a “joke.”
Public outcry pushed prosecutors to come up with something to charge Lori Drew with.
She was indicted in May 2008 on three counts of accessing protected computers without
authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress and one count of
criminal conspiracy. She was found guilty lesser charges of misdemeanors, and the jury
was deadlocked on the fourth felony charge of criminal conspiracy. Witnesses clearly
testified that Drew intended to use the correspondence with “Josh” to get information
about Megan, and then later humiliate her in retribution for her allegedly spreading
gossip about her daughter. It was also said that Lori Drew knew of Megans’ battle with
depression. The assistant was given immunity in return for her testimony.
