The Internet
21. Social network sites can be defined 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
(3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the
system.
Professional network generally refers to a professional
network service, a virtual community that it is focused on
professional interactions instead of social interactions.

Web 2.0 applications called “start pages” are designed to provide a personalized
place on the internet where users can mashup data, information and knowledge
available anywhere, anytime, including mobile login.
