Serviciul de retea sociala se concentreaza pe contruirea si verificarea unei retele sociale online pentru comunitati de oameni ce au aceleasi interese si practica aceleasi activitati sau care sunt interesati in explorarea intereselor si activitatilor celorlalti, fapt ce necesita folosirea software-ului. Majoritatea retelelor sociale sunt bazate in primul rand pe web si pun la dispozitie mai multe feluri de a interactiona pentru utilizatori, cum ar fi chat-ul, mesajele, posta electronica, video-urile, voice chat-ul, impartirea de fisiere sau discutii in grup. De aceea, unele site-uri apeleaza la o noua strategie sa-si mentina clientii satisfacuti si serviciile "imbietoare". Nu doar ii incurajeaza sa socializeze online dar sa se si intalneasca la evenimente si petreceri in lumea reala. Yelp tine petreceri regulate in marile orase ale tarii. In prezent, incepatorii incearca sa foloseasca modelul hibrid online-offline pentru a castiga elan in fata comunitatilor foarte dezvoltate precum Yelp si Meetup. Recent lansatul Going, spre exemplu este un "calendar de evenimente sociale" ce contine anunturi, incurajeaza membrii sa socializeze unii cu altii si le permite sa-si plaseze pe profile evenimente favorite si galerii foto. "I`m in like with you" permite intrarea doar cu invitatie,parasind astfel vechiul"friend request", in favoarea unor jocuri ce permite unui membru sa castige jocul altui membru, inainte ca acestia sa intre in contact.Fondatorul retelei I`m in Like With You, Charles Forman nu planuise sa aiba intalniri offline asa ca utilizatorii au luat initiativa. Modelul hibrid online-offline a luat nastere discutabil o data cu Meetup-ul din New York,in 2002, ce a capatat faima in urma campaniei pentru democratul Howard Dean, cand a fost folosit ca un instrument de mobilizare a sustinatorilor locali.
