What is Social Networking?

A social networking site has participants create a profile,often with personal information and a picture. The site allows interaction with others who belong to the site. Examples of Social Networking sites are: Myspace, Facebook, and Blogspot (the software I'm using to create this blog). The person creating the profile can decide how "public" they wish to make their site. You may have your site accessible only to friends you invite or to anyone who happens to be surfing.

The media would have you believe that the Internet is a dangerous place with sexual predators around every virtual corner. Being safe on the Internet means taking few precautions. The Hennepin County Library has created a list of Internet Safety Tips for Kids. There are just as applicable to grown ups!
