Hello all,
I am wondering if there is a verb describing the use of social networking sites such as My Space, Facebook etc.
With the use of email, there is mailing With the use of IM there is IMing or chatting With just looking at stuff on the net there is surfing
However, I don't know what the verb describing the use of social networking sites might be.
You might say social networking, but you also do that at cocktail parties etc. Is it virtual networking?
Any help would be appreciated.
