Recently the trend of social networking sites is growing at a fast pace in approximately every age group but more specifically in adults. These social networks have become an integral part of our lives, social interactions, and communication with other people. As these sites allowed us to access the world quite easily, it also brings some consequences for example security and privacy of data. Here we are analyzing the taxonomy of social networking sites.

The origin of Taxonomy is from the Greek word “taxis” meaning arrangement and “nomos” meaning law. Taxonomy helps us classify according to the pre-defined system which results in preparing a conceptual framework to build up the basis for discussion, analysis or retrieval of information. Taxonomy helps us in organizing our content into hierarchical relationships, this way it becomes easier to search for particular information. Defining taxonomy can help us achieve several benefits.

Some popular social networking sites are listed below:

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn
  • Snapchat etc.

Basically taxonomy is a scheme for classification of information and it does not have any relationship with sales or revenue generation. It refers to the effective formation of content within a well-defined scope for ease and precise access. Most of the social networking platforms use these taxonomies as a way for the categorization of media. Exploring a little bit of Facebooks’ taxonomy when it comes to using Facebook search engine e.g. to find people on the basis of mutual friends and location.

Here is an example that Facebook uses several kinds of taxonomies when it comes to categorization of media or information that it does this by groups. For example, hashtags, likes, pages, shares, interests and trending topics yet of course the timeline.
