Post 1 - Social networking what it is, how it is used by me, expectations of what to learn through INF206.

What is Social Networking?
Social networking is the interaction of individuals with a shared interest or position on a certain subject. These networks are contained within a social networking site which is condusive to the this interaction and which also allows for the collaboration between the individuals so that information is shared and revised to ensure it's relevance and currency. Social networking sites include such sites as facebook, myspace and linkdin. Social networks can also occur through other sites such as blogs hosted on blogger or wordpress for example.
