Social networking is undeniably growing in
popularity in India. Social media first gained
popularity in India sometime around 2008, and
it is now a significant aspect of online interven-
tions in the daily lives of Indians.
According to estimates, more than 83 mil-
lion Indians have access to the internet today.
Amazingly, India has more internet users than
the entire populations of the UK, France and
Switzerland. With the increasing use of broad-
band in Indian homes and the introduction of
faster 5G internet, we may expect this number
to increase over the next few years.
The user has a wide range of alternatives on
social media. Hence, the classification can be

users “vote” on news items and
post links to articles or other
news items. Since the items with
the highest votes are presented

are decided by the community.
The most well-known are Reddit
and Digg.
f Media Sharing Websites: Ser-
vices that let you post and share
different types of items such as
images and videos. The majority

features like profiles, subscrip-
