Social Networks History
In the early 1930s, a self-published psychologist named Dr. Jacob Levi Moreno introduced
the sociogram, the first formal attempt to map out the relationships within a group of people. Moreno's
sociogram -- a cluster of individual points, or "nodes," connected by straight lines -- became a powerful
tool for identifying social leaders, outsiders, and what he called the "sociometric star," the person to whom
all others are connected [source: Psybernet].
In 1954, anthropologist J. A. Barnes used the phrase "social network" to describe the complex
relationships in a Norwegianfishing village [source: The Bumble Bee].

What is it?
What is Social Media?
Social Media is the future of communication, a countless array of internet based tools and platforms that
increase and enhance the sharing of information. This new form of media makes the transfer of text,
photos, audio, video, and information in general increasingly fluid among internet users. Social Media has
relevance not only for regular internet users, but business as well.
1. How does it work?
Social networks are the relationships that tie us together. Think about what happens when you meet someone new. You ask where they work, where th ey grew up, where they went to school.
Eventually, you realize that your childhood friend was in this guy's fraternity in college. Even though you've never met before, you're both part of the same social network -- a friend of a friend.
