The social networking service is an online service platform or site that focuses on facilitating the constrution of social networks or social relationships
between people who, for example share interests activities backgrounds or connections in real life. SOCIAL MEDIA has became an integral part of moderm
society. there are general social networks with user bases larger that the population of most countries. there are nice sites for virtually every special interest
out there. And given that privacy concerns facebook recently came under attack for changes to its privacity policy that were worded ambiguously enough to
effectively grant rights to facebook to use any of your contect, private or public, for their own purposes(such as advertising) even after you'd delected your
profile. Also social media continues to evolve on a daily basis. With major social networks and social media sites marking changes and improvements on an
almost daily basis, It's sure to keep evolving in coming years

EARLY SOCIAL NETWORKS
DATING SITES
Dating sites are sometimes considered the first social
network. the first dating sites started cropping up
almost as soon as people started going online. they
allowed users to create profiles (usually with photos)
and to contact other users.
FORUMS
Online forums also played a large part in the evolution of the social
wed. while many people consider dating stes or sites like
Classmates.com to be the firts social networks, they don't really fit
the definition. dating sites rarely allowed you to keep a friends list,
neither did classmates in its early years (and profiles were sevely
limited). the following sites were the firts true social networks.
SIX DEGREES
Six degrees was launched in 1997 and was the firts moder
social network. it allowed users to crete a profile and to
become friends with other users. While the site is no
longer functional, at one time it was actually quite
popular and had around a million members at its peak. In
2000 it was purchased for $125 million and in 2001 it was
shut down.
LIVEJOURNAL
LiveJournal started in 1999 and took a different approach to social
networking. While six degrees allowed users to create a
basically-static profile, LiveJournal was a social network buit around
constantly-updated blogs. LiveJournal encoraged its users to follow
one another and to create groups and otherwise interact. It was
really the precursor to the live updates we see in social networks
currently.
WORD OF WARCRAFT/ MMORPGS
(Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) have become social
networks in their own right. The most famous of these is world of
warcraft, where players interact both in the game world and on related
dorums and community sites. Social interation within the games ranges
from teams set up specifically for tactical reasons whithin the game to
friendships to romances. MMORPGS became popular in the early 2000s,
though there were other online role-playing and other games prior to
that.
ASIANAVENUE, MIGENTE BLACKPLANET
These sites cropped up in the years following Six Degrees launch, between 1997
and 2001. White Six Degrees allowed users to create profiles and add friends
(generally without needing approval to add people). users could create
professional, personal and dating profiles on these sites. While they were some
of the earliest social networks, there were few innovations among them.
