These computer-based services allow individuals to communicate with friends, family, colleagues, and customers, fostering online communities based on shared interests, activities, or real-life connections.
User Profiles: Users create and maintain personal profiles with information they choose to share.
Connections: Users can connect with other users, often by creating a list of "friends" or "contacts" within the system.
Content Sharing: Platforms facilitate the sharing of various types of content, such as updates, photos, videos, and links.
Interaction: These services allow for communication and interaction through features like posting comments and messages.
Purpose: Social networking can be used for both personal reasons (connecting with family and friends) and professional reasons (career-related activities, business networking).
