The Web spawns all sorts of interesting trends that often end up affecting your life. Social networking is one of the latest. Sites devoted to the pursuit can have an impact on you, even if you don't know about them, initially. That's because some of them work by creating new connections through existing relationships. So although you may not be using, say, Friendster, one of your friends may, and if that person lists you as a friend and invites you to join the network, well, you're involved. Find out what all the fuss is about and if any of these social sites can help you make valuable connections.
