Social networking verbalized

• A social network service focuses on the building
  and verifying of online social networks for
  communities of people who share interests and
  activities, or who are interested in exploring
  the interests and activities of others, and which
  necessitates the use of software.
• Most social network services are primarily
  Web-based and provide a collection of various
  ways for users to interact, such as chat,
  messaging, email, video, voice chat, file
  sharing, blogging, discussion groups, etc.
