If you're not sure what  this is all about, we have a short explanation of social networks for you to get you acquainted.

Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Typically a social network is a service that allows you to keep track of your friends, family, and business relationship. Depending on the website in question, many of these online community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, or politics. Once you sign up to a social network site you can begin to socialize. You can 'connect' to your friends, co-workers, neighbours, friends of friends, or meet new people.
