Friendship networks colloquially describes interconnected networks of people who are connected through friendship, often described as "overlapping circles of friends".^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Friendship networks as an internet phenomenon

Recent, rapid internet developments such as MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and Friendster are databases which allow people to explore their friendship networks, as well as map the user's various relationships to others; this is sometimes done through text lists, but also sometimes done graphically — for example, Friend Wheel is a plug-in for Facebook and Bebo which graphically depicts these interconnected relationships as spokes of a wheel.
