what are networking sites?They are a way of getting in touch with old friends and keeping in touch
with current ones.
Facebook allows each users to set up a ''profile'' of themselves, listing details of their school and university career, as well as allowing them to upload photos and vidio clips to share.Each persons profiles can be viewed by people listed as ''
friends''. Facebook friends can also post comments on each other''s ''wall'' -a kind of instant email service.Myspace and Bebo work in a similar way,although Myspace has become more known for its assosiation with aspiring bands,who often upload their latest music on to their Myspace page in the hope that it will be spoted by bigwigs in the music industry. Facebook also allows users to notify their friends of forthcomming events and groups of common interest
can be set up. New features seem to appear daily. Members can now hug and high-five each other, and even setup an
electronic aquarium or do some pruning in their virtual garden.A new language has stemmed from social networking sites,too, for example ''poke'' is an electronic greeting between facebook members.
