individuals to(1) construct a public or

semi-public profile within a bounded system

(3) view and traverse their list of

connections and those made by others within the system”

Boyd, D. & Ellison, N., 2007, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication

interest and desire to join the system.

by users to correspond and/or share information with other users.
