In the vast universe we call the internet
This is Social Networking
What is it?
Wikipedia says;
The term social network is a social structure made of individuals (or organizations) called "nodes,"
which are tied (connected) by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship
, financial exchange, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige.
The resulting graph-based structures are often very complex. There can be many kinds of ties and
research in a number of academic fields has shown that social networks operate on many levels, from
families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved,
organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals.
