Social networks and Web 2.0 portals
The Social Web is currently used to describe how people socialize or
interact with each other throughout the World Wide Web. Such people are brought
together through a variety of shared interests. There are different ways in which people
want to socialize on the Web today.
The first kind of socializing is typified by "people focus" websites such as Bebo, Facebook, and Myspace.
Such sites promote the person as focus of social interaction.
The second kind of socializing is typified by a sort of "hobby focus" websites. For example, if one is interested
in photography and wants to share this with like-minded people, then there are photography websites such as Flickr, Kodak Gallery and Photobucket.
