Social Networking

Social networking is a popular online service that has recently hit the online population by storm. It allows users to connect with friends, both old and new, as well as family or work colleagues, and add then to social circles, with which users can share specific content such as photos, videos, mood messages, invitations etc. It offers users a fair amount of benefits such as allowing users to catch up with long forgotten friends, follow their interests (for example favourite celebrities, sports teams or hobbies) and much more. However, it does have some drawbacks regarding security, as well as being too much of a distraction for teenagers.
