Chapter 23

Social Networking

Your iPad can help keep you in touch with others in lots of innovative ways that go far beyond what e-mail and the Web traditionally enable.

Some of the most popular places to “connect” these days are those sites that are often called social networking sites—places that allow you to create your own page and connect with friends and family to see what is going in their lives. Some of the most popular web sites for social networking include Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

In this chapter, we will show you how to access these various sites. You will learn how to update your status, tweet, and keep track of those who are both important or simply of interest to you.

We will also introduce you to some great third-party apps that give you access to some of the social networking features in a new, innovative manner.
