=//What is Social Networking? - For Educators//=



What is a Social Network and Why Would I Want to Participate in One? Social networks are usually Web sites that feature user-created information that serves the purpose of representing someone's personality and characteristics for private, business or social purposes and provides an easy interface to connect with others who participate for the same reason. Content is user-generated and subjective. It should be noted that these social networks can usually be viewed by anyone - and users should post accordingly.
