_Social Network Service_
A social network service focuses on the building and
verifying of online social networks for communities of
people who share interests and activities, or who are
interested in exploring the interests and activities of
others, and which necessitates the use of software.
Most social network services are primarily web based and
provide a collection of various ways for users to interact,
such as chat, messaging, email, video, voice chat, file
sharing, blogging, discussion groups, and so on.

_Social Bookmarking_
On a social bookmarking system or network, users store lists
of Internet resources that they find useful. These lists can
be accessible to the public by users of a specific network
or website. Other users with similar interests can view the
links by topic, category, tags, or even randomly.
Other than web page bookmarks, services specialized to a
specific subject or format - feeds, books, videos, shopping
items, map locations, wineries, etc. - can be found.
