The Big Idea Behind This Lab
Like blogs, a social network website is more a way of organizing information, functionality and features in a way that offers a utility/service for facilitating online social interaction. This lab exists to familiarize you with some of the basic building blocks of an online social network and encourage you to explore the width swath of features and niche social networks available.
Basic Requirements

• Setup a page/group/network to allow others to participate within a certain theme or affinity.
• Populate (upload) the site with relevant content (links, photos, videos, events, etc.) that reaches out to members (you don't need to have anyone join you, but it's a goal worth having) and keeps the site engaging and fresh.
