3. What is Social Network?
 The use of internet-based social media programs to make
connections with friends, family, classmates, customers
and clients, is called Social Network.
 Social networking can be done for social purposes,
business purposes or both. The programs show the
associations between individuals and facilitate the
acquisition of new contacts.

4. Is There Need of Social Networking?
Yes, there is a need. Social Networking bring many
people close and does business connections. It also
connects the unknown persons to each other, which can
lead to exchange of information worldwide. From spam
messages, value education, scientific knowledge to
business data and records, it can share almost everything.
Today’s world cannot stand without it. A person in the
world cannot stand even for one day without contacting
other person. Even finding of one person’s life partner
can be done through social networking.

5. How Is The Information Shared?
Information in earlier days was sent through emails only.
Today vast numbers of websites are developed. They can
share blogs, quotes, status, pictures, videos and even files
too. This information can be shared worldwide or to
restricted persons.

6. E-mail Safety
There are some things that you should take in mind before
opening an e-mail.
 Do NOT open any emails from a source that you do not
recognise. You should be able to determine the sender’s
name or subject and whether it is relevant for you.
 If you do open an email and realise that it could be
potentially dangerous, add the sender to your ‘blocked
senders’ list. Do not reply to this email at all.
 Do not respond to ANY email that claims to be from your
bank. If a bank needs to contact you about your account,
they will call you or send you a postal letter.

7.  Ensure you have an anti-virus program that is up to date
on the school network and at home.
 If using a public computer, ensure you log out of your
email website completely and close the internet browser.
 And finally – that email from Nigeria claiming to give you
$1 billion just for the privilege of using your account
really is too good to be true! Delete, block and move on.

8. Some good things about Social Network
There are many good things about social network and
some things to be taken in mind for betterness.
 Follow people who are experts in their field, learn from others
and stay up-to-date with the latest in your field.
 There are many social networking sites that now cater for the
Education System, that allow for secure networks where school
communities can interact on many levels.
 Reporters can find anything they want to research, only if it is
leaked on net and can expose many criminals.
 Researchers can get all the information they need to research
on.
 People can get all the things when they are sitting in one place.

and Brazil in 2008. In 2008 Google announced that
Orkut would be fully managed and operated in
Brazil, by Google Brazil, in the city of Belo Horizonte.

29. Path

30. Path is a social networking-enabled photo sharing and
messaging service for mobile devices, launched in November
2010. The service allows users to share with their close friends
and family up to a total of 50 contacts.
Users update their stream on Path by posting photos and
adding tags for people, places, and things.
Path limits each user's social network to 150 friends to
encourage users to select only high-quality connections.
Overall, the decision the company says was inspired by
psychology research that suggests people have a maximum
number of workable social contacts. The limitation, along with
user controls over how to share each post, were designed to
encourage greater sharing of personal information by keeping it
private to a person's inner circle of social contacts. The site was
intended as a companion to Facebook and other social network
platforms, as opposed to a destination website.

31. Contacts are suggested from among persons in a user's
electronic address book, as well as people with whom the
user is communicating by email.
The link to this website is http://path.com/

32. Pinterest

33. Pinterest is a web and mobile application company,
which operates an eponymous photo sharing
website. Registration is required for use.[3] The site
was founded by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra and
Evan Sharp. It is managed by Cold Brew Labs and
funded by a small group of entrepreneurs and
investors.

34. Pinterest is a free website that requires registration to use. Users can
upload, save, sort, and manage images (known as pins) and other
media content (e.g., videos and images) through collections known
as pinboards. Pinterest acts as a personalized media platform. Users
can browse the content of others on the main page. Users can then
save individual pins to one of their own boards using the "Pin It"
button, with Pinboards typically organized by a central topic or
theme. Users can personalize their experience with Pinterest by
pinning items, creating boards, and interacting with other members.
By doing so, the users "pin feed" displays unique, personalized
results.
Content can also be found outside of Pinterest and similarly
uploaded to a board via the "Pin It" button, which can be downloaded
to the bookmark bar on a web browser, or be implemented by a
webmaster directly on the website. They also have the option of
sending a pin to other Pinterest users and email accounts through
the "Send" button. Some websites include red and white "pin it"
buttons on items, which allow Pinterest users to pin them directly.
The link to this website is http://www.pinterest.com/

35. StumblUpon

36. StumbleUpon is a discovery engine (a form of web
search engine) that finds and recommends web
content to its users. Its features allow users to
discover and rate Web pages, photos and videos
that are personalized to their tastes and interests
using peer-sourcing and social-networking
principles.

37. StumbleUpon uses collaborative filtering (an automated
process combining human opinions with machine learning of
personal preference) to create virtual communities of like-
minded Web surfers. Rating Web sites update a personal
profile (a blog-style record of rated sites) and generate peer
networks of Web surfers linked by common interest. These
social networks coordinate the distribution of Web content, so
that users "stumble upon" pages explicitly recommended by
friends and peers. Giving a site a thumbs up results in the site
being placed under the user's "favorites". Furthermore, users
have the ability to stumble their personal interests like
"History" or "Games".
Users rate a site by giving it a thumbs up, thumbs down
selection on the StumbleUpon toolbar, and can optionally
leave additional commentary on the site's review page, which
also appears on the user's blog. This social content discovery
approach automates the "word-of-mouth" referral of peer-
approved Web sites and simplifies Web navigation.
The link to this website is https://www.stumbleupon.com/

38. Tagworld

39. TagWorld is a social tagging community that helps users
find content by topic. The website revolves around a
tagging system. Users can upload images and post
comments. A search bar lets users browse by keyword.
Users can also click buttons to access different types of
content, such as blogs, links and photos. TagWorld gives
the user an overview of all content related to a tag. Just
like other social networks, TagWorld lets users establish
a profile and add friends. Friends lists are displayed as
images on the user’s profile page. The site has set a few
ground rules for its users since activity relies so heavily
on the actions of others. The rules are generally what
most users expect to find in any forum or network and
help keep TagWorld fun for all users.
Its link is http://www.tagworld.com/

40. Twitter

41. Twitter is an online social networking service that
enables users to send and read short 140-character
messages called "tweets".
Registered users can read and post tweets, but
unregistered users can only read them. Users
access Twitter through the website interface, SMS,
or mobile device app. Twitter Inc. is based in San
Francisco and has more than 25 offices around the
world.

42. Tweets are publicly visible by default, but senders can
restrict message delivery to just their followers. Users
can tweet via the Twitter website, compatible external
applications (such as for smartphones), or by Short
Message Service (SMS) available in certain countries.
Retweeting is when a tweet is forwarded via Twitter by
users. Both tweets and retweets can be tracked to see
which ones are most popular. While the service is free,
accessing it through SMS may incur phone service
provider fees.
Users may subscribe to other users' tweets – this is
known as "following" and subscribers are known as
"followers" or "tweeps", a portmanteau of Twitter and
peeps. Users can check the people who are
unsubscribing them on Twitter ("unfollowing") via various
services. In addition, users can block those who have
followed them.

43. Twitter allows users to update their profile via their
mobile phone either by text messaging or by apps
released for certain smart phones and tablets.
The link to this website is http://www.twitter.com/

44. Windows Live Spaces

45. Windows Live Spaces was Microsoft's blogging and
social networking platform. The site was originally
released in early 2004 as MSN Spaces to compete with
other social networking sites, and re-launched in 2006 as
a part of a shifting of community services away from the
MSN brand. Windows Live Spaces received an estimated
27 million (27,000,000) unique visitors per month as of
August 2007.
Features of Windows Live Spaces included a blogging
system, photo gallery, lists, friends, a guestbook, and a
social profile. A Spaces page can be personalized with
"gadgets", modules that can be placed to enable further
customization, HTML code, and media playlists. Contact
cards were also used in other Windows Live applications
and services to summarize the recent content added to a
Space. RSS feeds are also available for content on a
space.
The link to this website is http://spaces.live.com/

46. Youtube

47. YouTube is a video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno,
California. The service was created by three former PayPal employees
in February 2005. In November 2006, it was bought by Google for US$1.65
billion. YouTube now operates as one of Google's subsidiaries. The site
allows users to upload, view, and share videos, and it makes use of
Adobe Flash Video and HTML5 technology to display a wide variety of
user-generated and corporate media video. Available content includes
video clips, TV clips, music videos, and other content such as video
blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.
Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, but
media corporations including CBS, the BBC, Vevo, Hulu, and other
organizations offer some of their material via YouTube, as part of the
YouTube partnership program. Unregistered users can watch videos,
and registered users can upload videos to their channels. Videos
considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to
registered users affirming themselves to be at least 18 years old.
The link to this site is http://www.youtube.com/

48. Instagram

49. Instagram (portmanteau of Instant Telegram) is an
online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and
social networking service that enables its users to
take pictures and videos, and share them on a
variety of social networking platforms, such as
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr. A distinctive
feature is that it confines photos to a square shape,
similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in
contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by
mobile device cameras. Users can also apply digital
filters to their images. The maximum duration for
Instagram videos is 15 seconds.

50. Users can upload photographs and short videos,
follow other users' feeds and geotag images with
longitude and latitude coordinates, or the name of a
location. Every year, Instagram released Top 10
Instagram geotagged locations in the world, in
pictures. Users can connect their Instagram account
to other social networking sites, enabling them to
share uploaded photos to those sites. As of June
2013, users can connect their Instagram accounts to
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.
The link to this site is https://instagram.com/#

51. Vimeo

52. Vimeo is another video-sharing website just like
youtube in which users can upload, share and view
videos. Vimeo was founded in November 2004 by
Jake Lodwick and Zach Klein.
The link to this website is https://vimeo.com/

53. Flickr

54. Flickr (pronounced "flicker") is an image hosting and
video hosting website, and web services suite that
was created by Ludicorp in 2004 and acquired by
Yahoo in 2005. In addition to being a popular
website for users to share and embed personal
photographs, and effectively an online community,
the service is widely used by photo researchers and
by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs
and social media.

55. Flickr offers three types of account: Free, Ad Free and Doublr.
The free option includes one terabyte of storage limited to 200
MB per photo and 1 GB per video with maximum length 3
minutes. The Ad Free option allows subscribers to avoid
advertisements for an annual fee. The Doublr account includes
twice the storage of a free account. In May 2011, Flickr added
an option to easily reverse an account termination, motivated
by the accidental deletion of a Flickr user's account, and public
reporting of its protracted restoration. Flickr may delete
accounts without giving any reason or warning to the account's
owner.
Before May 2013, Flickr offered two types of accounts, Free
and Pro. Free accounts were limited in data storage,
accessibility, and interaction. Pro accounts received unlimited
bandwidth and storage, and allowed users to upload an
unlimited number of images and videos every month. New Pro
accounts are no longer offered, but old ones remain active,
with no plans to retire them.

56. Yammer

57. Yammer, Inc. is a freemium enterprise social
networking service that was launched in 2008 and
sold to Microsoft in 2012 for US$1.2 billion.
Yammer is used for private communication within
organizations and is an example of enterprise social
software. The tool was originally developed as an
internal communication system for the genealogy
website Geni. Access to a Yammer network is
determined by a user's Internet domain so that only
individuals with appropriate email addresses may
join their respective networks.
The link to this website is https://www.yammer.com/

58. tumblr.

59. Tumblr (stylized in its logo as tumblr.) is a
microblogging platform and social networking
website founded by David Karp and owned by
Yahoo! Inc. The service allows users to post
multimedia and other content to a short-form blog.
Users can follow other users' blogs, as well as make
their blogs private. Much of the website's features
are accessed from the "dashboard" interface, where
the option to post content and posts of followed
blogs appear.

60. Blog management
 Dashboard: The dashboard is the primary tool for the typical
Tumblr user. It is a live feed of recent posts from blogs that
they follow. Through the dashboard, users are able to
comment, reblog, and like posts from other blogs that appear
on their dashboard. The dashboard allows the user to upload
text posts, images, video, quotes, or links to their blog with a
click of a button displayed at the top of the dashboard. Users
are also able to connect their blogs to their Twitter and
Facebook accounts, so whenever they make a post, it will also
be sent as a tweet and a status update.
 Queue: Users are able to set up a schedule to delay posts that
they make. They can spread their posts over several hours or
even days.
 Tags: For each post a user creates, they are able to help their
audience find posts about certain topics by adding tags. If
someone were to upload a picture to their blog and wanted
their viewers to find pictures, they would add the tag #picture,
and their viewers could use that word to search up posts with
the tag #picture.

61.  HTML editing: Tumblr allows users to edit their blog's
theme HTML coding to control the appearance of
their blog. Users are also able to use a custom
domain name for their blog.
The link to this website is https://www.tumblr.com/

62. VK

63. VK is the largest Russian social network in Europe.
It is available in several languages, but is especially
popular among Russian-speaking users, particularly
in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Like
other social networks, VK allows users to message
each other publicly or privately, to create groups,
public pages and events, share and tag images,
audio and video, and to play browser-based games.

64. As with most social networks, the site's core functionality
is based around private messaging and sharing photos,
status updates and links with friends. VK also has tools
for managing online communities and celebrity pages.
The site allows its users to upload, search and stream
media content, such as videos and music. VK features an
advanced search engine, that allows complex queries for
finding friends, as well as a real-time news search.
 Messaging. VK Private Messages can be exchanged
between groups of 2 to 30 people. An email address can
also be specified as the recipient. Each message may
contain up to 10 attachments: Photos, Videos, Audio
Files, Maps (an embedded map with a manually placed
marker) and Documents.

65.  News. VK users can post on their profile walls, each post
may contain up to 10 attachments – media files, maps
and documents (see above). User mentions and
hashtags are supported. In case of multiple photo-
attachments the previews are automatically scaled and
arranged in a magazine-style layout. The news feed can
be switched between all news (default) and most
interesting modes. The site features a news-
recommendation engine, global real-time search and
individual search for posts and comments on specific
users' walls.
 Communities. VK features two types of communities.
Groups are better suited for decentralised communities
(discussion-boards, wiki-style articles, editable by all
members etc.). Public pages are a news feed oriented
broadcasting tool for celebrities and businesses. The two
types are largely interchangeable, the main difference
being in the default settings.

66.  Like buttons. VK like buttons for posts, comments,
media and external sites operate in a different way
from Facebook. Liked content doesn't get
automatically pushed to the user's wall, but is saved
in the (private) Favorites section instead. The user
has to press a second 'share with friends' button to
share an item on their wall or send it via private
message to a friend.
 Privacy. Users can control the availability of their
content within the network and on the Internet.
Blanket and granular privacy settings are available
for pages and individual content.

67.  Synchronization with other social networks. Any
news published on the VK wall, will appear on
Facebook or Twitter. Certain news may not published
by clicking on the logo next to the button "Send".
Editing post in VK does not change the post in
Facebook or Twitter, and vice versa. But removing
the news in the VK will remove it from other social
networks.
 SMS serves. Russian users can receive and reply to
a private messages or leave a comments for
community news using SMS.

68. Vine

69. Vine is a short-form video sharing service. Founded
in June 2012, microblogging website Twitter acquired
it in October 2012, just before its official launch. The
service lets users record and edit five to six-second-
long looping video clips and revine, or share others'
posts with followers. Some Vines are revined
automatically based on what is popular. The videos
can then be published through Vine's social network
and shared on other services such as Facebook and
Twitter. Vine's app can also be used to browse
through videos posted by other users, along with
groups of videos by theme, and trending, or popular,
videos.

70. Vine enables users to record short video clips up to
around six seconds long while recording through its in-
app camera. The camera records only while the screen is
being touched, enabling users to edit on the fly or create
stop motion effects.
Additional features were added to the app in July 2013;
these include grid and ghost image tools for the camera,
curated channels (including themed areas and trending
topics/users), the ability to "revine" videos on a personal
stream, and protected posts.
In July 2014, Vine updated their app with a new "loop
count" meaning every time someone watches a vine, a
number on top of the video will appear showing how
many times it was viewed. The "loop count" also includes
views from vines that are embedded onto other websites.
The link to its website is https://vine.co/

71. Meetup

72. Meetup is an online social networking portal that
facilitates offline group meetings in various localities
around the world. Meetup allows members to find
and join groups unified by a common interest, such
as politics, books, games, movies, health, pets,
careers or hobbies. Users enter their postal code or
their city and the topic they want to meet about, and
the website helps them arrange a place and time to
meet. Topic listings are also available for users who
only enter a location.
The link to this website is http://www.meetup.com/

73. ask.fm

74. Ask.fm is a global social networking site where users
create profiles and can send each other questions, with
the option of doing so anonymously. The site was
founded in Latvia and launched on June 16, 2010 as a
rival to Formspring. It has since overtaken the latter in
terms of worldwide traffic generated with 150 million
monthly unique users as of March 2015. The site was
purchased by Ask.com in August 2014 with the intention
to "focus on turning around the philosophy of the
company and putting trust and safety first." Since the
acquisition, the company has made a number of changes
toward its goal of improving the safety of its users. These
include parting ways with Ask.fm founders, Mark and Ilya
Terebin, whom Ask.com CEO Doug Leeds described as
having a "laissez-faire" approach to safety and
proactively partnering with the New York Attorney
General and the Maryland Attorney General in the
creation of a multi-step plan to turn the site around.

75. Ask.fm has since launched its first-ever Safety
Advisory Board of which John Carr OBE, Anne
Collier, Marsali Hancock, Dr. Brian O'Neill and Dr.
Justin Patchin are board members, as well as a new
Safety Center which includes specific tools, tips and
guidance for teens, teachers, parents and law
enforcement. In February 2015, under the direction
of Chief Trust and Safety Officer Catherine
Teitelbaum, Ask.fm sponsored its first Safer Internet
Day and launched a #nobullies campaign to drive
awareness of the company's no tolerance policy for
abusive behavior on the Ask.fm service.

76. meetme

77. MeetMe (formerly MyYearbook) is a social
networking service founded in 2005. In June 2012,
myYearbook was renamed MeetMe.
MeetMe includes a virtual economy through which
members earn and spend "Lunch Money," the
MeetMe virtual currency. Lunch Money enables
members to "bid" on each other's photos, and own
photos.
The link to this website is http://www.meetme.com/

78. How Can Social Networking Be
Dangerous?
The social networking can be dangerous in many ways. By
signing up on a social website, you are showing all your
details to the world. Some bad people like terrorist or any
of your enemies might get the information of where you
live and your life can be in danger.
Online banking or sending private messages can be hacked
easily by professional hackers resulting theft of bank
balance and leaking of private messages, pictures and
other top secret files, worldwide.
Children who are just new to the internet can learn many
bad things when they are not under parents guidance and
become criminals

79. Precaution
Social Networking users need to be aware that
ANYTHING they write, post, upload or file leaves a
DIGITAL IMPRINT in cyberspace. Even deletion of files
on Social Networking sites does not mean that it is
removed from that site, or that anyone else in the world
has already downloaded it.
