PERSONAL
NETWORK
A personal network is a set of human contacts known to an individual,
with whom that individual would expect to interact at intervals to
support a given set of activities. In other words, a personal network
is a group of caring, dedicated people who are committed to maintain a
relationship with a person in order to support a given set of activities.
Having a strong personal network requires being connected to a network
of resources for mutual development and growth.
Personal networks can be understood by:
who knows you
what you know about them
what they know about you
what are you learning together
how you work at that
Personal networks are intended to be mutually beneficial–extending
the concept of teamwork beyond the immediate peer group. The term
is usually encountered in the workplace, though it could apply
equally to other pursuits outside work.
Personal networking is the practice of developing and maintaining
a personal network, which is usually undertaken over an extended
period.
Personal networking is often encouraged by large organizations, in
the hope of improving productivity, and so a number of tools exist
to support the maintenance of networks. Many of these tools are
IT-based, and use Web 2.0 technologies.
Characteristics of networks
Broadly speaking, all networks have the following characteristics:
Purpose
A network can be established for learning, mission, business,
idea, and family or personal reasons.
Structure
A network is a group of interlinked entities that form a cluster.
Most social structures tend to be characterized by dense clusters
of strong connections.
Style
The place, space, pace and style of interaction of the networks
give an understanding of the style of the networks.
Types of personal networks
Personal networks can be used for two main reasons:
social
professional
The "Mindset Divide" of users of these networks was compared as follows:
1. Emotions:
1. Personal social networks:
Nostalgia, fun, distraction.
2. Personal professional networks:
Achievement, success, aspiration.
2. Use:
1. Personal social networks:
Users are in a casual mindset often just passing time. They use social
networks to socialize, stay in touch, be entertained and kill time.
2. Personal professional networks:
In this purposeful mindset, users invest time to improve themselves and
their future. These networks are used to maintain professional identity,
make useful contacts, search for opportunities and stay in touch.
3. Content:
1. Personal social networks:
These provide information about friends and family, personal interests
and entertainment updates.
2. Personal professional networks:
These provide information about career, brand updates and current affairs.
Personal network management
Personal network management (PNM) is a crucial aspect of personal information
management and can be understood as the practice of managing the links and
connections for social and professional benefits.
Some ways to do this would be:
being authentic and consistent
paying attention to status updates
following wisely
contributing
seeking to be worth knowing
appropriate tagging

SOCIAL
NETWORK
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social
actors (such as individuals or organizations), sets of dyadic ties,
and other social interactions between actors. The social network
perspective provides a set of methods for analyzing the structure
of whole social entities as well as a variety of theories explaining
the patterns observed in these structures.
The study of these structures uses social network analysis to identify
local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine
network dynamics.

NETWORKING
SERVICE
A social networking service (also social networking site, SNS or
social media) is an online platform that is used by people to
build social networks or social relations with other people who
share similar personal or career interests, activities, backgrounds
or real-life connections. The variety of stand-alone and built-in
social networking services currently available in the online space
introduces challenges of definition; however, there are some common
features:
(1) social networking services are Web 2.0 internet-based applications,
(2) user-generated content (UGC) is the lifeblood of SNS organisms,
(3) users create service-specific profiles for the site or app that
are designed and maintained by the SNS organization,
(4) social networking services facilitate the development of online
social networks by connecting a user's profile with those of other
individuals and/or groups. Most social network services are web-based
and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as by
e-mail and instant messaging and online forums.

COMPUTER
NETWORK
A computer network or data network is a telecommunications network
which allows computers to exchange data. In computer networks,
networked computing devices exchange data with each other using a
data link. The connections between nodes are established using either
cable media or wireless media. The best-known computer network is the
Internet.
Network computer devices that originate, route and terminate the data
are called network nodes. Nodes can include hosts such as personal
computers, phones, servers as well as networking hardware. Two such
devices can be said to be networked together when one device is able
to exchange information with the other device, whether or not they
have a direct connection to each other.

HOW TO
NETWORK
You've probably heard the phrase "It's not what you know, it's who
you know." In today's interconnected society, that rings true more
than ever. Your talents, abilities, and experience will never take
you anywhere if nobody knows you exist. In order to get what you
want out of life, you need to be resourceful. Your fellow human
beings are a vast resource.
