Social networking is the way we communicate with each other today. Virtual communities, networks and groups are abundant and ever growing. Communities can be based around any common factor. A community like Facebook allows people to find old friends and also make new friends. There are other groups which may be based on common interests and goals.
There are some huge networking sites like Facebook or Twitter which dominate the world market. These sites have millions of users. Obviously, there is a need for social networking sites which allows people to connect and share in a meaningful and fun way; otherwise these sites would not have been successful in the first place!
In spite of being global sites, it is possible to find local information and make local friends on Facebook. So how does a global site get local? The answer lies in independent apps that run on these sites. Watch this Facebook social connect video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj65cGDuWsU to find out more about this amazing application.
