Design and Implementation of a Web-Based Social Networking Site for Staff and Students
ABSTRACT
Recently, online Social Networking Sites (SNSs) have exploded in popularity. Numerous sites are dedicated to finding and maintaining contacts and to locating and sharing different types of content.
Online social networks represent a new kind of information network that differs significantly from existing networks. Results showed that participants often use the internet, especially social networking sites, to connect and reconnect with friends and family members.
Objectives are to enable online contexts to strengthen different aspects of offline connections, and to promote individuality in a social context within the community.
Meanwhile to bring about the social medium that will present the students and staff with ethical decisions about self disclosure and acceptable behavior.

INTRODUCTION
Social networking is a phenomenon which has existed since society began. Human beings have always sought to live in social environments. The proliferation of social networking sites (SNS) and their pervasion in everyday practices is affecting how societies manage their social networks.
To a significant extent, SNS have shifted local networking to the internet. In less than five years, these sites have grown from a niche online activity into a phenomenon, 4 through which tens of millions of the internet users are connected both their leisure time, and at work, and also at school.
Networking is a system of trying to meet and talk to other people who may be useful to you in your work.
