Social networks are online communication features that exist in the modern society like Twitter,Facebook,Digg. This a way of communicating and sharing ideas via computer,mobile etc.
social network is a place where you can see what your frens are doing. (At least what they want you to know) a place to know new friends. I know my wife from Facebook. simply makes things more borderless and cheap as you no longer spend time and money on phone calls.
I don't know how to define social network but let me give you some examples: Facebook, Twitter, Friendster, etc.
It's like being in a room with everyone you know, possibly including some you don't, except online. Everyone's talking at once about things they would never actually say if the said room were real life. One "friend" shouts out: "Mmm I love quesadillas ", and another "LIKE THIS AND I WILL...". Then proceeds to post pictures of that super cool party they went to last night.
agree, it's like bringing in a group of people and group them into you, you can see what everyone else is doing and you can let them know what you are doing.
In simple language social networking is the grouping of individuals into exact groups and these days is facbook and twitter boom.
Social Network for me is a place to gather all people around to build share interest among others. But it seem it been using different purpose from different user now. http://www.whatissocialnetworking.com/ you can find more information in this link.

Social networking is the practice of expanding the number of one's business and/or social contacts by making connections through individuals. While social networking has gone on almost as long as societies themselves have existed, the unparalleled potential of the Internet to promote such connections is only now being fully recognized and exploited, through Web-based groups established for that purpose. Web sites dedicated to social networking include Friendster, Linkedin, Spoke, and Tribe Networks. IBM and Microsoft are among organizations said to be considering entering this market.
