What is Social Networking?
Social networking is the act of interacting and networking with people in a social online environment by means of a website; these websites are appropriately known as "social networking websites."

Social Networking is one of the most popular characteristics of Web 2.0, and is a popular online medium among folks of all ages. It encourages active participation, consideration, and keen interest -- must-haves for any company!

Who Uses Social Networking Websites?

When they first emerged on the cyberspace scene, social network websites used to appeal generally to younger demographics, specifically people between the ages of 18-35. But as the scope of the Internet continues to expand, so does the target audiences of social networking websites.

Many companies are integrating social networking campaigns as they use the Internet to handle:

• establishing and stregthening client and partner relations
• marketing campaigns for business exposure
• marketing and advertising for products and services
• retail of products and services
