Online Social Networking is a great tool which has its signatures all over the places- from handpalm to high skylines. Eduacation, Business, Medical, Politics almost every sector has online social networking- sharing views friendly, professionally, or even the most informal. Some social networks are popular worldwide, some regional. But all have one common feature 'sharing'.

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities and high schools, it is most popular online. This is because
like most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the Internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other people, to gather and share first-hand information and experiences about any number of topics from golfing and gardening to developing friendships and professional alliances (whatissocialnetworking.com, 2009).
