Friendship networks colloquially describes interconnected networks of people who are connected through friendship, often described as "overlapping circles of friends".

Friendship networks as an internet phenomenon

Recent, rapid internet developments such as MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and Friendster are databases which allow people to explore their friendship networks, as well as map the user's various relationships to others; this is sometimes done through text lists, but also sometimes done graphically — for example, Friend Wheel is a plug-in for Facebook and Bebo which graphically depicts these interconnected relationships as spokes of a wheel.

Has Social Networking killed friendship?
Q. Now, hold your horses, you may think you have the obvious answer ready, but think about this for a minute. Read over what happened to me, with names and places changed for legal reasons: (I'm John) John works at the bakery, so does Ann. John went to school with Bob. For years they were friends.

Facebook and LinkedIn Privacy question, computer educated people only?
Q. Facebook and LinkedIn are social networking services, one focusing on friendship, and the other on business. Do users want to have separate spaces to network for work and friendship? Does privacy matter in both environments? Consider privacy here NOT to mean user s settings for privacy, but as a more general notion of what privacy is.
