Online social networking

One of the best paths one should follow is socializing. Meet as many people as you can, make yourself pleasurable.Networking is probably a word you hear a lot while on the internet. No matter what you do, networking is great because of it acting like a source of information and also a filter in everything you do. Whether you're looking for a job, or for a date, or for an used car, your friends and you're friends' friends are a grear source of filtered information.
Why filtered? Because you and you friends resemble in some ways and that can be applied even to information sharing.
Why online, then?
Well, the advantage of the internet to the old, analogue world 
is that it has no barrier. No time, no space. Network NOW with virtually ANYBODY (anybody that has a chance of being online at some point).
Is this a good way of networking? Does it keep and develop good human relations? Time will tell.
In the meanwhile, lets take a look at some of today's top Online Social Networking sites that have something to do with dating.
"Like Friendster–the breakout hit in social networking–the sites are based on the "six degrees of separation" principle (that's right, the same one that places actor Kevin Bacon at the center of humanity). " BTW, did I mention huminity? a piece of software that shows you a "friendship" map, and calculates routes to people you want to meet?
On Friendster, you can only see other users who are friends of friends of friends, a definite play on the six degrees of separation principle. On your profile page is a list of your Friendster friends, and a thumbnail of their photo. After surfing around you'll find maybe a dozen folks you actually know in real life on there, so you can visit their pages, and click on the 'Add as a friend' button. This sends a message to them, and once they verify that indeed, yes, you are friends, you get added to each other's friends list, and are exposed to each other's network of friends. The more friends you add, the more people in your network you can see. On every user page in your network, you see up to twenty connections to them through the friend of a friend of a friend hierarchy.
Sean Nelson has the funniest input on Friendster.
Most of all other social networking sites use Friendster as a model.Some off them try offering different features or offer an all-in-one solution
MySpace is one of them:
"MySpace is for everyone:
Friends who want to talk Online
Single people who want to meet other Singles
Matchmakers who want to connect their friends with other friends
Families who want to keep in touch–map your Family Tree
Business people and co-workers interested in networking
Classmates and study partners
Anyone looking for long lost friends! "
Most of them I have to admit I like Friendity(available only in German at the moment).It has a lot of potential other sites don't.
ZeroDegrees looks like it is no more. It's just an almost blank page now that reads "There is really nothing interesting on this page."
And then there's Backwash. Something that mixes a blogging community, a social networking site, personal ads…They claim to be The internet organised by personality, again, time will tell…
