== Social networking
Social networks are a new paradigm on web application design. Social networking platforms stand 
among the most popular websites, while many content oriented applications are supporting social
networking features in order to improve engagement, enhance user awareness and stimulate communities
around the website.

{Social Stream}[http://github.com/ging/social_stream] is based on
{social network analysis (SNA)}[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network] concepts and methods,
including social entities (actors), ties and relations. Social Stream is so flexible that you can
define custom actors (groups, organizations, institutions, social events) and relationships
(friends, collegues, members, administrators, contributors, attendants, speakers).

It also provides a new tie-based access control model, which grants rights at the relation level,
allowing you to share activities with friends, administrators, members or everybody.

== Activity Streams
{Activity Streams}[http://activitystrea.ms/] is a format for syndicating social activities around the web. It has already been adopted by some of the major social networking platforms.

{Social Stream}[http://github.com/ging/social_stream] provides a database schema based on the
{Activity Streams specification}[http://activitystrea.ms/head/activity-schema.html], leading your
application towards a well-known compatible data model design. It is extensible so you can
add your own activities easily.
