The study of informatics includes knowledge in the field of computer hardware, software, processors, satellite communication, internet services, data security, artificial intelligence, etc. A network for social interaction and personal relationships is Social Network. Informatics is playing a vital role in development of web based Social networks that serve a number of purposes for its users, majorly includes; a) creation, security , privacy, maintenance and strengthening the existing social connections, b) providing platform to upload/share private contents that depends on type of sites, c) finding new interesting contents by filtering, recommending, and organizing the content uploaded by users.
