Social networking is one of the booming business in the internet. Social networking sites have reached the current level by exploiting the basic tendency of humans to get connected and making their presence felt among others. There are lot of successful social networking sites, which increased the number of billionaires in the world. These sites are not limited to facebook, orkut, myspace, hi5, bebo, linkedin etc.

Even though social networking upholds an easy medium to get humans across the globe connected, some people are tend to misuse this channel. Some people do illegally clone profiles and some may send lewd scraps. If you can live with these challenges, its well and good, otherwise you may prefer to delete or deactivate or cancel your profile from the particular social networking site.
