Nowadays, psychology, sociology, political science, education, journalism and public health, everything is important for people. In recent years, we are almost listening the new word----networking. What is networking? Let know Networking! SOCIAL SCIENCS ------- NETWORKING Social sciences including----psychology, sociology, political science, education, journalism, or public health. Nowadays, psychology, sociology, political science, education, journalism and public health, everything is important for people. In recent years, we are almost listening the new word----networking. What is networking? Networking is an interconnected group of computers. In the world of computers, networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data. Networks are built with a mix of computer hardware and computer software. How about social networking? A social network is a social structure made of nodes that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as values, visions, idea, financial exchange, friends, kinship, dislike, conflict, trade, web links, disease transmission, or airline routes to share. Social network analysis views social relationships in terms of nodes and ties. In its simplest form, a social network is a map of all of the relevant ties between the nodes being studied. The network can also be used to determine the social capital of individual actors. These concepts are often displayed in a social network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties are the lines. Network is more and more popular in society, people use network to application the work, got the money, use network keep in touch with family, friend, Commercial partner, people easy to continent network, anytime, anywhere we can easy use computer, laptop, self phone…… to content the network, people easy to got news, information, information transmission, even in not in the same place, far place, we may be at arm's length immediately, also the world distance becomes more and more near. Social networking is more and more popular and importer, but sometime, social networking has a lot a trap, we should pay attention. They look at MySpace and Facebook, with their tens of millions of users, like before I saw the report for family, friend, community,:a social networking is an online place where a user can create a profile and build a personal network that connects him or her to other users. In the past five years, such sites have rocketed from a niche activity into a phenomenon that engages tens of millions of internet users. More than half (55%) of all online American youths ages 12-17 use online social networking sites, according to a new national survey of teenagers conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The survey also finds that older teens, particularly girls, are more likely to use these sites. For girls, social networkings are primarily places to reinforce pre-existing friendships; for boys, the networks also provide opportunities for flirting and making new friends. So we know, social networking is including a lot of something, have something we known, and have something we don’t known’s, but social networking should be let we know. Are you applied in social networking?!
