What are Social Networks?
Since the conception of the Internet, one of the biggest online revolutions has been 'Social Networking'. It's essentially a method of keeping in touch with what you're passionate about from one central point. That could involve commenting on your friend's pictures, holding conversations on message boards, joining groups to support a cause or becoming a fan of a band to keep updated on their latest releases.

What is online Media Sharing?
Media sharing sites really came about as requirements to distribute large files stretched beyond the limitations of email. Using external hosting companies, people were able to share pictures, audio, video and presentations without clogging up their inbox. After a bit of branding was added, these sites exploded with millions of files being uploaded and commented on every day.

What are Blogs & Microblogs?
Blogging is a way for you to tell the world what's on your mind an d is one of the most widespread uses of the Internet today. Blogs come in all shapes and sizes, from individuals telling you what they've had for lunch right up to big businesses describing a new product launch. Microblogging is (as the name suggests) a miniature version of a blog, generally kept to 160 characters.

What is Social Bookmarking?
When you're browsing the Internet you will probably bookmark sites that are of interest to you or bookmark pages that you want to read when you have more time. Social Bookmarking now allows you to look at pages which other people recommend, which means you spend less time browsing for what you want and more time actually looking at it.
Whenever we see something online that we think will be of interest to you, we'll bookmark it and you can see what we're currently looking at by clicking on the links below:
 del.icio.us |
 Digg |
What are Feed Aggregators?
As you can see above, there are lots of ways you can stay in touch with your friends (and Monster's) online activity. As a way of truncating the information you want to receive (and excluding the information you don') Feed Aggregators allow you to pick and choose which feeds you're interested in.
