Social Networking

          The internet provides many services.  One of the most popular is social networking.  Social networking is an online service that focuses on establishing relationships among people through posting information about yourself such as interests on any specific website.  The main goal for social networking is to communicate over the Internet whether it is through e-mail or instant messaging.  When using social networks you are grouped into specific groups like your neighborhood or community.  Traditional social networks are specific websites that are grouped based on your interests, beliefs, or hobbies.  Today, there are websites where you can join for free and there is no criteria you have to fulfill in order to become a member.  
          Like every other website on the Internet, you must be careful how you use this tool.  Social networking can be used as a very useful tool but at the same time it can also be misused to harm others.  When using social networks, make sure you know who you are talking to and just like Wi-Fi precautions, do not give out any information to strangers.  After knowing the precautions to take when using a social networking website, you can search for sites like Facebook, MySpace, and Google+, and sign up to be a member and sooner or later you will get to meet people from all over the world.
