Since the first social networks rose to popularity, concepts such as Friend and later Like--previously reserved for direct human interaction--have taken on new meaning in an always-online, information driven culture. It could be argued that social networks have transformed the way people interact with their friends, relatives, and colleagues. Friends, connections, followers, circles, and lists have enabled people to connect and stay connected in ways they'd never been able to before. Initially, these concepts proved to be highly successful for casual web sites but they didn't take to the business world as quickly. But now, more and more organizations are realizing the importance of leveraging social interactions for more than just recreation. Liferay's robust social features make it a great platform for business web sites, casual web sites, and everything in between.
