social networks

social network? “ We define social network sites as web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection , and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site.” – boyd & Ellison http: //jcmc . indiana .edu/vol13/issue1/boyd. ellison .html
