What is Social Networking?Social networking is the term given to web-based online communities where people can meet and share common interests.Much like starting at a new school, when you first join a social networking site, you have no friends, but.As you explore and join groups, you start to make new friends and rediscover old ones.
Social NetworkingSocial networking is based on a certain structure that allow people to both express their individuality and meet people with similar interests. This structure includes having profiles, friends, blog posts, widgets, and usually something unique to that particular social networking website -- such as the ability to 'poke' people on Facebook.
Keep your friends close.Profile. This is where you tell the world about yourself. Profiles contain basic information, like where you live and how old you are, and personality questions, like who's your favorite actor and what's your favorite book. Other more private information can e shared as well (i.e. phone numbers, date of birth, address, etc)Friends. Friends are trusted members of the site that are allowed to post comments on your profile or send you private messages. You can also keep tabs on how your friends are using social networking, such as when they post a new picture or update their profile. Friends are the heart and soul of social networking.
Is Safe?Just like in real life, some things are kept private our friends dont know everything about us.Since Facebookcan be set so that information is shared with the entire world, users (especially teens) need to be careful of what they put online and who they share it with. They also need to know how to protect their information.

  • 19. The Last Word?#1. Join Facebook.Yes, you should sign up for Facebook. This service was once just for college students, but today its for everyone. Parents need to be part of this world.#2. Friend your kids.To friend someone on Facebook means connecting to them. Your kids will probably complain about you friending them. Thats normal. But if your kids are minors, you should friend them. #3. Review your kids profile pages.Go to the profile pages for your kids and review the content. At first, youll see the Wall. But dont stop there. Click on the tabs for Info and Photos to see more.#4. Review who is friends with your kids.On the profile page for your kids, click on the words See All in the Friends box. You can then see who is linked to your kids. Seeing who is friends with whom is typical Facebook behavior.
