Social networking is a network that ties people all over the globe together to be able to interact and communicate when ever they want. It is particularly used by simply telling a friend and they will tell a friend, to start a chain of reactions. Simply interacting with social networking sites where you can talk to friends or companions can start a viral epidemic before you know it.

How the Fire First Ignites

Sort of like the way rumors spread, stories are passed one by one, and later multiplied exponentially. Social networking is like a viral mechanism that distribute information quickly and completely virtually. Simply having a medium size audience can be enough to spark or should I say, ignite a wildfire epidemic. All it can take is a little bit of emphasizing with the proper wording, and with of course, a fundamental story.
