ABSTRACT








Social network sites (SNSs) are increasingly attracting the attention of academic and
industry researchers intrigued by their affordances and reach. This special theme section of
the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication brings together scholarship on these
emergent phenomena. In this introductory article, we describe features of SNSs and
propose a comprehensive definition. We then present one perspective on the history of such
sites, discussing key changes and developments. After briefly summarizing existing
scholarship concerning SNSs, we discuss the articles in this special section and conclude
them with considerations for future research.

PREFACE



There are many different technologies available today for developing complex websites and web
applications, and with so many to choose from, its great that there is one technology in particular that
stand out from the crowd and it is such a joy to use PHP is a fantastic technology that enables you to
develop websites and applications which empowers business in an Open way. There is a real power
and depth to this technology that enables it to host even the most complex application available today.

My project is a result of the information technology revolution which has turned the universe into a
global village, and as computer have become an essential and integral part of our daily lives. This
process is advancing day by day and it is putting lot of challenges in front of us.

To look and understand these challenges which we have to face in future, our college provides an
opportunity for all its students to gain professional training and actual work environment for the
students. This knowledge will help us in our future prospects and skill development.

I have prepared this project report with great enthusiasm in the most practical way.

During this period, I get the first real world corporate experience on working, in an actual
environment with different technical skills which normally cannot be experienced by us in college
studies. Apart from this, I get an opportunity to learn the latest technologies, and gain insights into the
working of the system.

And most of all I observed how team effort is organized and integrated for the finished product to
take shape.
