Basically, a social network is made up of individuals or organizations that are connected through various social contacts ranging from casual acquaintances to family members. Social networks are established to encourage connections and communication to occur on a wide variety of levels.
A basis for the theory of social networking was a study performed by Stanley Milgram in 1967 that established that any two random United States citizens are connected to one another by a series of six intermediaries, on the average. This idea was made more popular by the play and subsequent movie, "Six Degrees of Separation", as well as the television show "Six Degrees". Current Internet experiments continue to explore this concept, such as the Ohio State Electronic Small World Project and Columbia's Small World Project. These experiments currently confirm that five to seven degrees of separation are sufficient to connect two people through the Internet. This also serves to confirm the potential effectiveness of Internet social networks to build new connections between people.
The first Internet social network began in 1995 and has 12.9 million visitors today. This makes it difficult to comprehend the rule of 150, also known as the Dunbar number, that states that the size of a genuine social network is limited to about 150 members. Over 200 Internet social networking sites exist and the number of members that belong to most them steadily increases.
In an Internet social networking site, a group of founders sends messages to invite members to join the site. Those members then invite additional members and the links continue to grow. Some social networking sites offer viewable profiles for members, address books and online social connections on a social or business level. Many Internet social networks are open to the public.
Internet social networks are a convenient way to link with new people, both personally and professionally. Consider that the senior director of Nielson/NetRatings, Jon Gibs, states that Internet "…social networking is not a fad that will disappear. If anything, it will become more ingrained in mainstream sites."

Since it's summer, you're probably rocking sneakers every day and have no desire to wear boots for the rest of forever, but since time travel seems to still be working the kinks out, it will be fall before you know it. And with or without your consent, high-end labels like Margiela will be dropping their F/W 14 collections in the coming weeks, meaning most of the good shit will be gone by the time it's actually cold outside. These boots in question are cool because they kind of look like something Daniel Day-Lewis would've cracked some skulls with in Gangs of New York. Interestingly enough, I once read that DDL spends his time cobbling when he's not being a gawd of the silver screen.

Sunday 18 August 1985
When Eamonn McEneaney lined up a free-kick from just outside the 45' he knew he had to score. What followed was a strike among the very best in the history of the game as Monaghan forced a reply. In the other semi, Mayo came back from six points down to draw with Dublin. The heavyweights took the measure of the blows and made no mistake in the replays. Kerry then defeated their great rivals by four points in the final.

Seattle police say a 55-year-old woman jogging in a city park was attacked by a man, punching her several times.
The woman was able to fight off the man, but the suspect remains at large. The man eluded an air and ground search on Friday at Seward Park.
Police say the woman said she was jogging at the park when she encountered the man. They talked and they both went their separate ways. Then, suddenly, she was attacked.
The woman said the man was armed with a knife, between 18 and 30 and African-American.

New Haven police say they're hiring famed crime scientist Henry Lee as the department's lead forensic consultant.
Police Chief Dean Esserman and other department leaders are set to announce Lee's appointment Friday morning at police headquarters.
Lee rose to national prominence through his work on infamous crimes, including the O.J. Simpson and Jon Benet Ramsey cases. The 74-year-old Branford resident served as head of the Connecticut state police crime lab from 1978 to 2000 and as the state's public safety commissioner from 1998 to 2000.
Lee was born in China, and his family fled to Taiwan in World War II. His father was killed by communists, and his mother raised Lee and his 12 siblings. He came to the United States in 1965, after having served as a police captain.

"Here we go! Super excited about @hillaryclinton running for President!!" gushed California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom on Twitter Sunday following Hillary Clinton's tepid Presidential announcement. The message was one of many strong reactions pronounced by California's statewide leaders–all Democrats. However, Gov. Jerry Brown was not among them.
U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer beat Newsom to the punch Sunday with the start of a prolific series of tweets, beginning with:
In 1920 women got the right to vote. One hundred years later, let's make sure there's a woman in the White House!
— Barbara Boxer (@BarbaraBoxer) April 12, 2015
Despite many questions over Hillary's accomplishments, Boxer posted:
Let's elect a President who has excelled at every position she's ever held from First Lady to Senator to Secretary of State. — Barbara Boxer (@BarbaraBoxer) April 12, 2015
Newsom posted the following Hillary fundraising message late Sunday, then retweeted a message from the former Secretary of State:
Let's help @HillaryClinton get started — please donate $5 or more by clicking on this link https://t.co/RwDwNGb5hq #hillaryclinton #2016 — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) April 12, 2015
Noticeably absent was any post from California Governor Jerry Brown on Hillary's announcement.
While many say that Brown, a former repeat presidential candidate will not run, some have mentioned his name as a potential challenger in the 2016 Democratic Primary.
California Attorney Kamala Harris, a declared candidate for U.S. Senate to replace Boxer, also neglected to post regarding Clinton's candidacy.
Former Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Carly Fiorina is expected to run for President, and has been very vocal in her condemnation of Clinton's record. On Monday, Fiorina told MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski on the Morning Joe that Hillary has "had a lot of very impressive titles, but a position is just a position. It's all about what you do in it, and think her time in the position of Secretary of State is demonstrably one that lacks accomplishment, but that also has some real blemishes on it."
In contrast, California "Ready for Hillary" Finance Consultant David Wolf posted:
So proud to have been on the Ready for Hillary team as California Finance Consultant. Great teamwork! #readyforhillary — David Wolf (@Davewolf67) April 9, 2015

The CPA Consultants Alliance, a group of thought leaders collaborating to further leadership in the accounting profession, released an infographic of the leadership survey and white paper it conducted last year.
In addition to illustrating the results of 2012 white paper "CPA Firm Leadership: Communication Drives New Possibilities" (infographics below), CPACA members recently met to discuss and address the current challenges they perceive in the profession.
Excerpts of member responses to the two questions—the biggest leadership issue in the profession today, and how they recommend firm leaders address it—included, grouped by member:
Communication is the thread that runs through most, if not all, issues within the profession. Internal issues such as attracting and retaining talent and external issues such as client retention and business development all require strong communication skills.
Developing leaders for succession and continued growth.
Build this capacity to develop top talent deeply into the culture of the firm through multiple strategies.
--Mary Bennett, ML Bennett Consulting, LLC
Communication is the thread that runs through most, if not all, issues within the profession. Internal issues such as attracting and retaining talent and external issues such as client retention and business development all require strong communication skills.
My recommendation to firm leaders is to incorporate communication skills training as one part of their firm wide training program.
--Lisa Benson, The Advisory Board
Current leadership often complains they can't find quality candidates to fill the pipeline while the younger generation is using terms like out-of-touch and archaic to describe the people they could possibly succeed.
The sooner we stop throwing daggers at each other based on what the other perceives to be wrong and start focusing on the positive aspects we all bring to the table, the quicker we can start blending our perspectives and planning the transition – together
--Jim Boomer, Boomer Consulting, Inc.
Up-and-coming potential leaders need to see the opportunities for firm leadership in order to move firms successfully into the future.
Improve trust and communication at the partner level and then bring future leaders into the conversation sooner.
--Angie Grissom, The Rainmaker Companies
The lack of development in the next generation of firm leaders.
This starts fundamentally with more effective communication, increased engagement within the firm at strategic levels and enhanced learning opportunities.
--Dustin Hostetler, Flowtivity
Half the problems the profession is facing could be solved by better communication.
Firm leaders should be getting some emotional intelligence around communication styles and embrace new forms of communication internally to get the impact and mindshare they need.
--Sarah Johnson, Inovautus Consulting
In public accounting, the partners (viewed as leaders, mentors, bosses) have not focused on actually becoming and being leaders.
I would like to see them devote an entire partner retreat to having honest conversations about setting a good example (at the minimum) and developing their leadership skills.
--Rita Keller, Keller Advisors, LLC
Developing an engaging culture for all generations in their firm, most importantly for those who will carry the torch in the next 10 to 15 years.
Give young people and future leaders an opportunity to lead. Let go of "old school" notions that they can't lead because of their age, how many years of experience they have (or don't have) or that clients can only interact with partners.
--Tamera Loerzel, ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
Many firms, even those in the Top 100, believe they have inadequate talent on their partner bench to succeed the current senior partners in their firm who have a high concentration within the Baby Boomer generation.
Leaders need to be much more proactive in building processes for identifying potential future leadership talent from within their firms.
--Terry Putney, Transition Advisors, LLC
The inability and/or unwillingness of current leaders to change habits and cultural norms within their firm is the single biggest leadership issue our profession is facing today.
Conduct a firm summit for leaders within the firm and focus on change management, collaboration and developing a culture that will sustain the firm for the next generation.
--Sandra Wiley, Boomer Consulting, Inc
Developing and retaining the best and brightest is the single most significant issue facing firms today.
Ask [young people] what your firm should keep doing that's working, stop doing that's not working and start doing to make working there as engaging as possible. Listen openly and implement the changes requested wherever possible.
--Jennifer Wilson, ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
