Social networking allows individuals to connect through shared interests or relationships. Popular social networks include Facebook for personal connections, LinkedIn for professional networking, and Twitter for sharing short updates. These networks enable sharing of photos, videos, messages, and activity with connections. While social networks facilitate communication and relationship building, users must be aware of privacy policies and carefully manage the information they share publicly versus privately.
