12、 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. It involves plenty of relationships and interactions within a group of individ
13、uals,which often plays a fundamental role as a medium for the spread of information, ideas, and influence among its members. The social network could be a chat room, a discussion forum, or sometimes with rating and comment functions embedded in a e-shopping website, such as a social recommendation s
14、ystem. Suggested that social network is not necessarily being groups of people or friends from physical world, but also from virtual one.
