These sites allow a user to chat with friends across the world. Also post messages, upload videos, share photos, and add event invitations for friends. All a person needs is access to a computer or even a web-enabled phone. Which makes it very easy to keep in touch with friends and family. There is a downside to social networking, it is harder to maintain privacy. Some employers are checking these sites to see what their employees are like outside of work. This can be seen as a violation of privacy. Or the price one pays for the other benefits of social networking.
