Question What is social networking?

Is a forum a social networking software or is there some other necessary component to be considered a social network?

Perhaps submit your questions to microblogging.com

It is deep.

And it does include software.

OpenSource mostly, some are fee based and some are free.

Becoming huge.

I consider sites like facebook, linkedin, friendster, etc. to be social networking sites. I don't consider forums as being social networking sites, but actually it is through forums that we really connect, now that I think about it. It's a good question!

Forums are not social networks, yet by popular demand they are implementing features which have proven to be successful within the social networking platforms.

It's a lame attempt by a few people who are trying to make a buck by convincing people to use their network of friends to hawk commercial services.

In the 1980's it was called "Amway", and I told real friends who called me with an Amway sales pitch to 'lose my number'. Some wise up and stopped, some didn't.

Now, when a 'friend' used their facebook status (or any other method) to push an ad into my face I 'de-friend' them. Some get the 'clue', some don't.

This is social networking, and the backlash.

Definitely, forums are different from social networking. In my opinion social networking is more on getting more friends and forums is more on getting more answers and learning as well.. =) But of course both have other uses aside from that.
