Introduction To Social Networking
A social networking website is
an online platform that allows
users to create a public profile
and interact with other users on
the website. Social networking
websites usually have a new
user input a list of people with
whom they share a connection
and then allow the people on
the list to confirm or deny the
connection. After connections
are established, the new user
can search the networks of his
connections to make more
connections.

Uses of Social Networking
Marketers use social networking for
increasing brand recognition and
loyalty. Because it makes the company
more accessible to new customers
and more recognizable for existing
customers, social networking helps
promote a brand’s voice and content.
For example, a frequent Twitter user
may hear of a company for the first
time through a news feed and decide
to buy a product or service. The more
exposed people are to a company’s
brand, the greater the company's
chances of finding and retaining new

Social Media
Human nature by default has been programmed to
be socially active to a certain extent. Some people
are more active, while others are less so!
However, people have always been looking for
ways to connect and network with each other. And,
in this age of digitisation, people have found ways
to be socially active on the internet, which is
possible with the advent of the numerous social
networking platforms and apps.
Now, even relationships begin, grow and end on
social media. People no longer need a personal
handshake or face-to-face meeting.
So, in this presentation, we discuss some of the
most popular social media sites that are being
explored by the world today. You can find out if
your favourite social media platform is a part of
this list and even learn about some really good
online social platforms that you can start using
today.
Facebook (FB) is an American for-profit corporation and online social media and social
networking service based in Menlo Park, California. The Facebook website was launched on
February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students. Since 2006,
anyone age 13 and older has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook .
Facebook may be accessed by a large range of desktops, laptops, tablet computers, and
smartphones over the Internet and mobile networks. After registering to use the site, users can
create a user profile indicating their name, occupation, schools attended and so on. Users can
add other users as "friends", exchange messages, post status updates and digital photos, share
digital videos and links, use various software applications ("apps"), and receive notifications
when others update their profiles or make posts.

WhatsApp Messenger is a freeware, cross-platform
and end-to-end encrypted instant messaging
application for smartphones. It uses the Internet to
make voice calls, one to one video calls; send text
messages, documents, PDF files, images, GIF, videos,
user location, audio files, phone contacts and voice
notes to other users using standard cellular mobile
numbers.
Despite having been acquired by Facebook in 2014,

this instant messaging platform exists as an
independent entity.It arrived on the scene much later
than Facebook, but has been able to capture the
imagination of millions of people across the world by
giving them the ability to communicate and share
instantly with individuals and groups. The WhatsApp
call feature is just the icing on the cake!
This social networking site enables you to post short text messages (called tweets),
containing a limited number of characters (up to 140), to convey your message to the
world. With the growing craze for online shopping, Twitter also makes it possible to
promote your businesses and even shop directly through tweets.
Twitter is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact
with messages, "tweets," restricted to 140 characters. Registered users can post tweets,
but those who are unregistered can only read them. Users access Twitter through its
website interface, SMS or a mobile device app. Twitter Inc. is based in San Francisco and
has more than 25 offices around the world.
Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan
Williams and launched in July, whereby the service rapidly gained worldwide popularity.
In 2012, more than 100 million users posted 340 million tweets a day.

Skype, owned by Microsoft, is one of the most popular communication-
based social networking platforms. It allows you to connect with people
through voice calls, video calls (using a webcam) and text messaging. You
can even conduct group conference calls. And, the best part is that Skype-
to-Skype calls are free and can be used to communicate with anyone,
located in any part of the world, over the internet.
Skype is an application that provides video chat and voice call services.
Users may exchange such digital documents as images, text, video and any
other, and may transmit both text and video messages. Skype allows the
creation of video conference calls.
At one point in February 2012, there were thirty four million users
concurrently online on Skype.
First released in August 2003, Skype was created by the Swede Niklas
Zennström and the Dane Janus Friis.

YouTube is the world’s largest video-sharing social networking site that enables users
to upload and share videos, view them, comment on them and like them. This social
network is accessible across the globe and even enables users to create a YouTube
channel where they can upload all their personally recorded videos to showcase to
their friends and followers.
YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno,
California. The service was created by three former PayPal employees—Chad
Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—in February 2005. In November 2006, it was
bought by Google for US$1.65 billion. YouTube now operates as one of Google's
subsidiaries. The site allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to favourites,
report and comment on videos.

Owned by the tech giant Alphabet (Google), this interest-based social networking
platform enables you to stay in touch with people by sharing messages, photos,
videos, useful links to sites and so on. It also extends support for video
conferencing through Hangouts and allows businesses to promote their brands
and products through Google+ business pages.
Google Plus is an interest-based social network that is owned and operated
by Google.
The service, Google's fourth foray into social networking, experienced
strong growth in its initial years, although usage statistics have varied,
depending on how the service is defined. Three Google executives have
overseen the service, which has undergone substantial changes leading to a
redesign in November 2015.

This multi-lingual social platform, which is available in more than 30 languages, is
known for its instant text messaging and voice messaging capabilities. You can also
share photos and videos and audio messages, using Viber. It offers you the ability
to call non-Viber users through a feature named Viber Out.
Viber is a free, cross-platform instant messaging and voice over IP (VoIP)

application that was first developed and popularized by the Israeli company Viber
Media that was bought by the Japanese multinational company Rakuten. In
addition to instant messaging, users can exchange images, video and audio media
messages by sending files to each other. As of December 2016, Viber had 800
million registered users.

This is a photo sharing and visual bookmarking social media site or app that
enables you to find new ideas for your projects and save them. So, you can do DIY
tasks or home improvement projects, plan your travel agenda and so on by using
Pinterest.
Pinterest is a web and mobile application company that operates a photo sharing
website. Registration is required for use.The site was founded by Ben Silbermann,
Paul Sciarra and Evan Sharp.
Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann summarized the company as a "catalog of ideas,"

rather than as a social network, that inspires users to "go out and do that thing."

Snapfish is a web-based photo sharing social networking site that offers unlimited
storage to its members for uploading photos. You can thus put away your storage
space concerns for your vast collection of images.
Snapfish is a web-based photo printing service owned by District Photo. Snapfish

given unlimited photo storage.
Snapfish members can share photo albums, individual photos, animated

snapshows, Group Rooms or Snapfish products. Members can share via email,
link URL, and to various other web services such as Facebook, Blogger and
MySpace. Like Facebook and unlike Flickr, a Snapfish account is required to
view shared photos.

This instant messaging network is similar to WhatsApp and is available across
platforms in more than eight languages. However, Telegram has always focused
more on the privacy and security of the messages you send over the internet by
using its platform. So, it empowers you to send messages that are encrypted and
self-destructive. This encryption feature has only just been made available for
WhatsApp, whereas Telegram has always provided it.
Telegram is a free cloud-based instant messaging service. Telegram clients exist for
both mobile (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Ubuntu Touch) and desktop systems
(Windows, macOS, Linux).[7] Users can send messages and exchange photos,
videos, stickers and files of any type. Telegram also provides optional end-to-end-
encrypted messaging.
