Hello all,

I am wondering if there is a verb describing the use of social
networking sites such as My Space, Facebook etc.

With the use of email, there is mailing
With the use of IM there is IMing or chatting
With just looking at stuff on the net there is surfing

However, I don't know what the verb describing the use of social
networking sites might be.

You might say social networking, but you also do that at cocktail
parties etc.  Is it virtual networking?

Any help would be appreciated.
