Introduction to Social Networking & Ethics

Def: When a computer network connects people or organizations,


it is a social network. Just as a computer network is a set of
machines connected by a set of cables, a social network is a
set of people (or organizations or other social entities)
connected by a set of social relationships, such as friendship,
coworking or information exchange

friend
