WHAT IS A SOCIAL COMMUNITY & HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Internet has become a way of life. Virtual communities have thrived on the social networking software’s interactivity. Not only scholars, academics or groups with specific interests but children as young as 13 years of age are becoming part of the Interactive virtual communities. People are going online with the intention of making friends and socializing in a more interactive environment.

Most of the online social communities need software that could be used as a common interface between networked users. Some of this software such as The Palace needs to be downloaded on to the user’s desktop. Other software such as HabboHotel is web-based and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
