Social Networks
Social networks are now the thing. With over a hundred sites offering services, Friendster, MySpace, and Facebook to give a few, a person can have difficulty choosing the best site for him. A basic breakdown of a general social network service reveals that the most standard sites offer ways to communicate, connect, and discuss. More complex sites allow blogging, file sharing, chat, e-mail, video posting, etc.
Social networks first began as an idea in 1993. The idea was turned into a project and finally, a site was born. At that time however, the idea was simply too far ahead into the future and therefore did not click in the real world.
