1. What is a Social NetworkingService? 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. -Wikipedia.com

2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6.

TRIVIA Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[8] The Web sites 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.

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. 10.

Megan hung herself, a story broke in the media linking aMySpace hoax with her death.Supposedly, Megan had spread gossip about a former friend that lived just four housesaway from her. In retaliation, Lori Drew (the mother of the girl), her assistant, and thegirl created a faux MySpace account. The account was for a non-existing sixteen year oldmale named, Josh Evans. Josh contacted Megan and began an online friendship. Thetone of the messages soon changed from positive, flirtatious, and uplifting to negativeattacks. Lori Drew, as Josh, posted bulletins, shared private messages, etc.. in an effort todefame and embarrass Megan. Megan told her mother what Josh had done, but hermother admits that she was most upset by the foul language Megan had used to respondto Josh.The last messages taken from Megans computer read: Everybody in OFallon knowshow you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of yourlife. The world would be a better place without you. Meier responded to Josh with:Youre the kind of boy a girl would kill herself over.

She was found guilty lesser charges of misdemeanors, and the jurywas deadlocked on the fourth felony charge of criminal conspiracy.
