Abstract of the project:

A social network is a social structure that maps out the relationships between

individuals. Technically we all belong to one giant social network, but we also belong to smaller, tighter social networks defined by our families, our friends, where we live, where we work, where we went to school, our hobbies and interests and much more. Social-networking sites "make invisible social networks visible" by allowing us to see (with pictures and links) who our friends are, who our friends' friends are, and who our friends' friends' friends are -- all in an easy-to-use interface. Before you can make an online connection, you need to create a profile on a social-networking site. You'll be asked to choose a login name and password. Once you've created those, you'll be asked for some basic personal information. Your profile is the image you're presenting to the online world. The project Social Networking Site focuses on building, developing and maintaining human relations by providing its user to have an active social life. This project is a web Name/ College Name / Social Networking Site Page 5

based application that can be accessed throughout the world and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such as personal profiles, groups, photos, etc. Social Networking sites help users "maintain" existing (and new) offline relationships. This site makes it easy to meet people who share your interest and hobbies. Who the user interacts with is completely users choice. The user can discuss current events, feedbacks and any issues through discussion forum. It is provided with graphical icons that are user friendly. A help option with a demo of how to use is provided to guide the user. Thus, allowing you to connect to your personal life and also helps you to establish new business contacts. To join this site the user needs to register and then sign-in to start connecting and experiencing a whole new world.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. M OTIVATION
Social networking has created new ways to communicate and share information. Social networking web sites are now being used regularly by millions of people and have become a part of everyday life for many people. Social networking has recently begun to be a key component of the internet business strategy for most "forward looking" companies. This serves as a main reason to study and build a social networking site.
The purpose of this project is to analyze and build social networks which help the user to maintain social life. A social network is a graphical model whose nodes correspond to entities within a social structure and whose links correspond to interrelationships between them. The main objectives of this project are to get social networking site into a working condition and to find an optimal solution for the maintenance of relationships and an active life. Finally, I will implement basic modules that are commonly seen in Social Networking Site.

1.2. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

It is a web-based application. Users can upload images. Discussion forum is provided. Registration/Login facility. Help Desk for better understanding. Open community like module is available.

1.3. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

The objective of this project Social Networking Site is to connect user. Social networks rightly defined as "our connections with other people". Provide easy to create and share a personal profile for users. Easy search out and contacting potential friends in the network. Easy to form community and start a discussion. Page 10

The project Social Networking Site is aimed at developing and maintaining human relations by providing its user to have an active social life. This project is an Internet based application that can be accessed throughout the world helps you maintain existing relations and also establish new ones. This is made possible by messages, pictures and many more. This site makes it easy to meet people who share your interest and hobbies. Who the user interacts with is completely users choice. The user can discuss current events, feedbacks and any issues through discussion forum. It is provided with graphical icons that are user friendly. A help option with a demo of how to use is provided to guide the user. Thus, allowing you to connect to your personal life and also helps you to establish new business contacts. To join this site the user needs to register and then sign in to start connecting and experiencing a whole new world.

1.4. LIMITATION OF A PROJECT

The main limitation of the project is for everyone and thus does not restrict anyone from entering. Yet, this can be modified as per requirement. The project is in initial stages and needs to evolve. There are a number of major issues that have surfaced and need to be addressed by organizations as they consider moving forward into the realm of social networking. These include:

Privacy & Security - On large social networking services, there have been growing concerns about privacy and users giving out too much personal information. Who has access to this information and what abuses may occur must be considered? When partnering with users on social networking site, only the most trusted users must be accepted.

Legal Issues - Corporations moving into social networking may be putting themselves at risk. There are a range of legal and liability issues that must be addressed before moving forward. Corporate policies need to be developed to provide guidance and set some needed boundaries. Page 11

Name/ College Name / Social Networking Site

Education & Research - It is still very early to talk about. More research and evaluation of social media environments is needed. The education of potential users about social networking media and instructions and how to take advantage of it should be provided.

Fake Identity - In the virtual world of online communities it is hard to prevent someone from creating a fake personality. This could mean a less trustworthy user in the network.

1.5. ORGANIZATION OF THE DOCUMENTATION

The document should be able to adequately serve as training material for new project members, imparting to them enough information and understanding about the project. The whole document is summarized into following chapters. Chapter one consists of motivation, scope of the system, objective of the project, limitations of the project and organization of the documentation. Chapter two is about Literature Survey where existing system and proposed system is detailed. A detailed explanation of each of the feature of the project is given. Chapter three consists of explanation of Analysis. In Analysis a detailed explanation of the Software Requirements is obtained. The user requirements, software and hardware requirements, functional requirements and non-functional requirements are explained. Chapter four is a summary of the Design Phase which provides a complete description of the UML Diagram of the Social Networking Site. UML Diagrams are classified into structural diagram and behavioral diagram. Chapter five explains about Implementation. Chapter six is a summary of Testing and Validation. The Testing methodologies are discussed here. Chapter seven gives a conclusion and scope of the future.
