This is a whistle-stop tourand there’s little time for the detailed exploration it deserves.
So…

So far, we’ve looked at two examples to illustrate how – broadly speaking – the web is full of social networks…
![Page 17: Social Networking](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060204/559f67531a28abb7378b4837/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
…but now I want to direct our focus to a narrow definition of social networking.

If Flickr collects and shares photos and Delicious collects and shares bookmarks…

People create identities, friends and groups.

Users add details about themselves (interests, workplace, relationships, and so on).
![Page 28: Social Networking](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060204/559f67531a28abb7378b4837/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Users add media, including photos, video, sound clips and so on.
![Page 29: Social Networking](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060204/559f67531a28abb7378b4837/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Users communicate with each other with public, private and real-time messages.

Users add ‘applications’, add-ins which provide additional functionality.

Technologically feasible: sites are free to join, easy to use and run on technology like mobiles.
Large userbase: if only we could create an educational community with a userbase like Facebook…
Sustaining communities: for distance learners without a ‘bricks and mortar’ campus (and even those that have), social networks can create and sustain a richly variable and geographically-scattered community.
Spaces: creates different spaces for working and ‘socialising’ within a single site, creating formal and informal networks.
Rich functionality: writing apps (widgets, gadgets) can add specific functionality to an existing social network: Course Profiles; My OU Story.

Social networking is an online approximation of real world relationships.
But it is also much more than that.
What social networks are and what that might mean for the web in general and education in particular we have yet to discover…
