Social Network Sites: Definition, History,  and Scholarship 

 Danah M. Boyd/Nicole B. Ellison  - Personal Name;

Since their introduction, social network sites (SNSs) such as MySpace, Facebook, Cyworld, and Bebo  have attracted millions of users, many of whom have integrated these sites into their daily  practices. As of this writing, there are hundreds of SNSs, with various technological affordances,  supporting a wide range of interests and practices. While their key technological features are fairly  consistent, the cultures that emerge around SNSs are varied. Most sites support the maintenance  of pre‐existing social networks, but others help strangers connect based on shared interests,  political views, or activities. Some sites cater to diverse audiences, while others attract people  based on common language or shared racial, sexual, religious, or nationality‐based identities. Sites  also vary in the extent to which they incorporate new information and communication tools, such  as mobile connectivity, blogging, and photo/video‐sharing.
