Launch of OnlineSocialNetworks Majordomo List
During the past several years, online social networking sites have
become quite pervasive within a variety of personal and professional
communities. As noted by Wikipedia, *a social network service focuses
on the building * of online social networks for communities of people
who share interests and activities * . Most social network services *
provide a collection of various ways for users to interact, such as
chat, messaging, email, video, voice chat, file sharing, blogging,
discussion groups, * [etc.]*

The list is intended to serve as a forum in which individuals of any
and all interests can discuss Any and All issues relating to Online
Social Networks, most notably their current and potential use by
libraries/librarians and/or their current/potential use within
institutions of higher learning.
