Social Networks how do they work?0:14
Do you use Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or LinkedIn?0:25
If so, then you are part of a social network.0:30
Social networking sites allow us to see our social connections.0:34
We can see our friends and their friends through pictures and links in a user friendly interface.0:39
When you create a profile on a social networking site, you open up a huge range of possible social connections.0:46
You can look up old friends, make new friends and share music, photos and videos with them.0:53
You can also join groups based on your interests or hobbies, favourite TV shows or music.1:00
Setting up a social networking account is simple.1:07
You just create and post a personal profile.1:10
For this you need a login, name, password and an email account.1:13
Then you add some personal information such as name, age, sex, location, interests, etc. You can also add a photo of yourself.1:18
You can personalize your profile and share as much information about yourself as you want.1:30
You can also control who sees your profile.1:35
For example, you can make sure that you only allow the friends that you have added to your network to see it.1:38
The next step is to search the network for your contacts, browse for new ones and add them to your network.1:45
You can invite offline friends to join by email or search for friends who are already signed up by name, school or workplace.1:51
Then you can search your friends connections for anyone else you'd like to add to your network.1:59
Different social networking sites allow people to interact in different ways.2:05
There are straightforward sites that allow you to expand your personal community such as Facebook.2:09
Then there are ones that involve media sharing such as YouTube where members upload and look at other people's pictures and videos.2:15
There are also ones that specialize in sharing music such as Last fm.2:23
And finally ones that allow bloggers to form online communities such as LiveJournal.2:28
The latest trend in social networking is to create your own independent social network.2:35
Companies do this to promote their brand and individuals can do it to create a very tight knit community.2:40
