How does it work? When it comes to social networking on the internet, websites are used. These websites are known as social networking websites. Social networking websites are just like an online community of internet users. Depending on which social networking websites, most of these online community members share a common passion. Once you are given access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize. This socialization includes getting to know people through interaction.

Social networking often involves bringing specific individuals or organizations together. While there are several social networking websites that focus on specific interests, there are others that do not. These websites are often referred to be traditional social networking websites.  These types of websites typically have an open membership. This means that anyone can become a member. However, once you are inside this online community, you can begin to create your own network of friends; thus eliminating others that do not meet your criteria.

The social networking trend through technology started back in 1998 when Amazon.com acquired PlanetAll. That was a pioneer site, providing the foundation of sharing contact information, basic biographies, and expanding networks through friends’ networks. This was followed by a mushrooming growth of social sites. Now social networking websites claim to have attracted millions of registered users across the globe. That is one reason marketers are looking at these sites with interest.

Orkut, Facebook, and myspace are some of the most popular among social networking websites.
