Prof. Nelson is presenting the basic structure of social security technologies. Social networking services may be structured into various categories: social network services for socializing with existing friends (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) through online distributed computer networks and internet services, networking services used or non-social interpersonal communication on job search, career growth planning and employment, social navigation for helping users to find specific information or resources (e.g. products, services, books, medicines, healthcare, travel, hospitality) and services for researchers and policymakers. Social networking services may be categorized based on age, occupation and religion supported by trusted recommendation system. A social network service usually provides an individual centered service whereas online community services are group centered to maintain and develop new social and professional relationships and to offer opportunities within professional education, curriculum education, and learning, to make new business contacts or keep in touch with previous alumni, co-workers, affiliates and clients. Social networking services provide a virtual space for learners through participation, collaboration, distribution, dispersion of expertise and relatedness. Registered users share and search for knowledge which contributes to informal learning.
Excessive use of social networking may affect the young community such as wasting time, cyber bullying, invasions of privacy, social anxiety, abuses resulting conflicts in relationship management and depression. Blocking and banning of social networking services for the student community may not be a rational solution. The community should be alert of addiction of social media and cyberbullying. Social networking services often share personal data of the users which may be a window into privacy theft.
