On social networking sites (SNS), like Facebook, friends are the people on the same SNS that you have added as a contact from within your own profile. On some social networking sites you may be required to accept a person's friend request before they can see your profile, on other sites it may be an automatic linking with no permission requested or required. See also "Social Networking Sites" in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.
Webopedia Quick Reference: Social Networking Sites When people talk about a computer network they generally are referring to a group of computer systems linked together. Within the network each computer system or device is called a node. The idea behind a social network is similar, only the nodes are generally individuals, groups or organizations.
