Social Networking takes place when groups of people gather virtually over the internet to communicate, share information, arrange for face-to-face meetups, and market ideas and products. 

Social Networking could include job-related sites like LinkedIn, platforms for sharing personal or company profiles like Facebook, microblogs like Twitter, and various others. 

Brown notes that there are issues associated with social networking, which include predators and bullies, cybertheft and crime, addiction to the internet, and viruses (2014).
