Social network services are one of the most popular online features nowadays. Most people, who are not even compatible with the internet, somehow manage to use social network services to keep up with the growing trend. A social network is basically a platform where people can build social relations based on similar interests, activities and even real-life events. Among all other social networks, Facebook is seen to be growing at the fastest rate and hence is the most popular. Before Facebook, another social network 'Hi5' dominated the field of social network services. Facebook eventually beat Hi5 and took its place with a higher number of users. Apart from facebook, twitter, google plus, Instagram are some of the other popular social networks. Social networking sites allow people to have free accounts with which they can connect with people from all parts of the world. There are facilities of privacy settings with which people can enjoy these social networks and also eliminate stalkers and problematic people. The accounts are free for regular people but people who use these social networks for business purposes have to pay a charge to the owners of these networks. Communication has become much easier with social network services. People can stay connected with their loved ones no matter what the distance is. Photo Sharing and video sharing features make it easier for people to know what their close and distant ones are doing. Some of these networks, such as facebook, allow chatting and video calling which makes communication even better. As long as people know the limit of using social network services, they pose no harm to society.
