The World Wide Web is a powerful tool. It helps people to communicate and connect in ways that weren't possible a few decades ago. You can chat with friends across the globe, share photos and videos while you catch up with each other. With the help of Web, you are able to track down an old friend whom you've not seen or met in years. It also allows you to make new friends or even find your soul mate. A social networking service is a platform to build social relations amidst people who share same interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a profile of each user which represents him or her, his or her social links, and a variety of additional services. The social networking sites provide a medium for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging or wall posts. Online social networking sites are some of the most popular online destinations now. These sites package services together in a compact and attractive way so that users can exert the Web to make connections with others. There are a few hundreds of social networking sites.

A newly developed social website which is genuinely user-friendly should have the look and feel, and the features of a popular website. It should be customized, and can cater to individual preferences. New improved innovative features that keep users returning to the site and bespoke features which help you achieve your business and community goals should be ensured. For reasons of privacy and dependability, the customer data must be kept safe, hidden and trackable for any proper social network. The social networking website design should be modern and relevant with the latest technology. It should provide the user with all the latest features and time to time upgradation or moderation to avoid any kind of glitch.
Certain must have features of a newly developed social networking site are:

1. Individual sections like homepage, news, directories and profiles.

2. Secured member registration ID and authentication password. This is also known as Core Social Networking which includes login and registration forms, private messaging between members, customizable member profiles with activity feeds, member email updates, and the ability to follow or send request to be friends with other members in the site. Under this category all these below mentioned features are looked for in the site like:
  • Personal Profile Page
  • URL of the personalized profile
  • Invitations of events
  • Photos and images
  • Articles and Blogs and Notes.
  • Calendar
  • Communities or groups
  • Jobs ad
  • Classifieds
  • Online or E Store with shopping cart
  • Video and Audio Upload module
  • Group Chat option
  • IM and EMail
  • User , Group and content Management
  • Privacy Controls and Page Creator and Site Designer
  • Themes, Newsletters and Announcements.
  • User Generated Contents
  • Private Groups.
  • Self- Serve Advertising revenue

The software development process is a set of stages that a software program undergoes when developed. The maintenance and upgradation of the software must continue for several years with a proper time interval after the initial release. Proper process of software development is the key to keep your social networking site up and booming. Social networking has helped us reach out and connect to millions of people at the same time where distance is no barrier. Two or more people can see, chat and share pictures, videos or audios from two sides of the globe within seconds. This has helped us socialise and keep our loved ones only a chat way.
