Description

A social networking service is a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who share similar interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections. Social networking sites are popular online communication forms among adolescents and emerging adults. Yet little is known about young people’s activities on these sites and how their networks of “friends” relate to their other online and offline networks. A social network is a collection of people, each of whom is acquainted with some subset of the others. Such a network can be represented as a set of points denoting people, joined in pairs by lines denoting acquaintance. One could, in principle, construct the social network for a company or firm, for a school or university, or for any other community up to and including the entire world. Since social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, began allowing organizations to create profiles and become active members, organizations have started incorporating these strategies into their public relations programming. A friend of your friend probably knows a friend of others friend; Facebook shrunk the gap between us. This project re-evaluate and extend the six degrees of separation theory by using a real social searching Facebook tool ‘‘We R So Close’’.
