Introduction
Social networking sites allow users to communicate with people, share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks. Social network sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, and Google+ have attracted millions of users, many of whom have integrated these sites into their daily practices. There are hundreds of Social Networking Sites, with various technological affordances, supporting a wide range of interests and practices. Sites also vary in the extent to which they incorporate new information and communication tools, such as mobile connectivity, blogging, and photo/video-sharing.
Social Network Sites: A Definition
We define social network sites as web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system.
While Social Networking Sites have implemented a wide variety of technical features, their backbone consists of visible profiles that display an articulated list of Friends one who are also users of the system. Each profile in Social Networking has unique ID. After joining an Social Networking Sites, an individual is asked to fill out forms containing a series of questions. The profile is generated using the answers to these questions, which typically include descriptors such as age, location, interests, and an "about me" section. Most sites also encourage users to upload a profile photo. Some sites allow users to enhance their profiles by adding multimedia content or modifying their profile's look and feel. Others, such as Facebook, allow users to add modules ("Applications") that enhance their profile.
Scope :
The social networking website is an online community designed to make social life more active and stimulating. The social network can help you maintain existing relationships with people and share pictures and messages, and establish new ones by reaching out to people
you've never met before.
This website also provides the features of blogging all at one place. The main idea behind behind blogging is to share your thoughts with all your friends which can be read by all the users using the website. This blog can be handled by the user as he wants for example adding videos and photos also.
This website enhances Advertisements of products. People using this website can buy and sell products from this website. The main purpose behind this Advertisement functionality will help people to buy products in trusted circle
Data Flow Diagram
A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data through an Information System. A data flow diagram can also be used for the visualization of Data Processing. It is common practice for a designer to draw a context-level DFD first which shows the interaction between the system and outside entities. This context-level DFD is then "exploded" to show more detail of the system being modeled.
A DFD represents flow of data through a system. Data flow diagrams are commonly used during problem analysis. It views a system as a function that transforms the input into desired output. A DFD shows movement of data through the different transformations or processes in the system.
Dataflow diagrams can be used to provide the end user with a physical idea of where the data they input ultimately has an effect upon the structure of the whole system from order to dispatch to restock how any system is developed can be determined through a dataflow diagram. The appropriate register saved in database and maintained by appropriate authorities.
TESTING METHODS
System testing is the stage of implementation. This is to check whether the system works accurately and efficiently before live operation commences. Testing is vital to the success of the system. The candidate system is subject to a variety of tests: on line response, volume, stress, recovery, security and usability tests. A series of tests are performed for the proposed system is ready for user acceptance testing.
Future Scope and Further Enhancement:
The advantages and disadvantages of a Online Social Networking website are much the same as those for a real life. However, the effort to develop and maintain Oonline Social Networking website is usually far less than that expended for a real life system: The most difficult problem is specifying a virtual machine which can peacefully coexist with the desired target systems. In some respects, this approach makes sense for making people communicate on web. The identification of clear-cut interfaces is a standard structured programming technique, which (in theory at least) reduces software maintenance costs. The only controversy might be over the particular choice of structure (i.e. social networking). In general, whenever organizational site is likely to outlive its hardware, the ONLINE SOCIALNETWORKING approach warrants consideration. This is because of the high redevelopment costs.
Now, when such social networking site is easily approachable to the user via website, it is easy and convenient for them to be in touch with their colleagues. It gives further opportunity to the coming users to enhance the IT technologies.
