Social networks


Social network is a virtual community which became particularly popular in 2002. There are over 200 social networking sites now. In these communities, some people first send invitations to other members of their own personal networks to join the site. Those sites offer different features such as profiles, links, video…

Virtual communities often create real communities. As an example, MySpace which appeared in 1995, combines offline and online relationships. Some people even find a job on this site.












A key trend: Businesses are increasingly opening up stores on MySpace. Why? It's easy to do and a great to target young people.
