Network?
What does it mean to have a network? Like for example on Facebook it sometimes list someone's network. Does this mean that they randomly choose a network? or does it mean that they are connect from that area?
For example if someone's network said "Providence" Would it be that they were located in Providence or the Providence area? Or that they just randomly choose Providence? I don't understand what a network is.... thanks!

Hey there,
I just want to expand a bit on what was written below. Basically a network is a group of people that know each other (to some degree) and have something in common or have common interests. It really is not any more complicated than that. It does not have to be based on a region- though it can be. It can also be related to work, to personal interests, family, friends, etc.
In business we talk a lot about networking. Its a type of socialisation that involves widening the net of people that you know- people that might be useful in some way at some other point in time (and vice versa). If you go unemployed for example, you can use your own personal business network to try to find a job.
On facebook official networks are usually based around places and institutions. There are networks for people from verious countries; or who went to school in the same place; or who are working for the same company. So, for your example, the answer should be yes- these people are or were located in Providence.
Thats pretty much it :)

Hi! The first link will tell you about computer networking, in general.

Below you'll find Facebook's statement.
"Facebook is made up of many networks, each based around a workplace, region, high school or college."
Basically, it is just about your region or where you are located. However, a lot of people put in a different place other than where they are actually living, for whatever reason.
