Online Social Networking
What is Social Networking? Social networking is all about conversation, collaboration, connections, and participation. Social networking sites are the modern world's water coolers, online gathering places where you can connect with your colleagues and friends and join communities of like-minded people to communicate. The sites generally allow you to interact through peer-to-peer connections and most allow you to chat, send messages, upload and view videos, share files, comment on blogs and discussion groups, and create your own profile. To help you get connected and enhance your personal and professional goals, the AIA has created several new networking groups to put you in touch with professionals who share your interests.
