A contact network is a minimal social network A social network is a social structure made of individuals called "nodes," which are tied (connected) by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship, financial exchange, dislike, sexual relationships, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige in which people are not assumed to have any relationship other than to be able to contact each other - perhaps only to refer items of mutual interest in politics or business, that imply no longstanding collaboration or relationship or trust with each other.

Study of contact networks is central to advertising Advertising is a form of communication intended to persuade its viewers, readers or listeners to take some action. It usually includes the name of a product or service and how that product or service could benefit the consumer, to persuade potential customers to purchase or to consume that particular brand. Modern advertising developed with the and marketing Marketing is the process by which companies determine what products or services may be of interest to customers, and the strategy to use in sales, communications and business development. It is an integrated process through which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers and political marketing Political consulting, beyond the self-evident definition of consulting in political matters, refers to a specific management consulting industry which has grown up around advising and assisting political campaigns. This article deals primarily with the development and nature of political consulting in the United States. Though its most important and public relations Public relations is the practice of managing communication between an organization and its publics. Public relations gains an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that provide a third-party endorsement and do not direct payment. Common activities include speaking at conferences, in particular, since spreads of rumour A rumor or rumour , is often viewed as "an unverified account or explanation of events circulating from person to person and pertaining to an object, event, or issue in public concern" (33) However, a review of the research on rumor conducted by Pendleton in 1998 found that research across sociology, psychology, and communication studies and hearsay Hearsay is information gathered by one person from another concerning some event, condition, or thing of which the first person had no direct experience. When submitted as evidence, such statements are called hearsay evidence. As a legal term, "hearsay" can also have the narrower meaning of the use of such information as evidence to are thought to follow contact networks closely. A phone tree or buddy list for instance, especially when combined with technologies such as SMS Short Message Service is a communication service component of the GSM mobile communication system, using standardized communications protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between mobile phone devices. SMS text messaging is the most widely used data application in the world, with 2.4 billion active users, or 74% of all mobile and flash mobs A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. The term is generally not applied to events organized by public, are well known ways to spread requests, rumours or news.

Unlike social networks, once the rumour is passed on, the ability to rein it in or restrict or qualify it may be very limited. Members of a contact network do not in general follow up claims or issues with each other as members of social networks do (or are thought to do).

Contact networks are also thought central to power network In social network theory, a power network collects many social networks to exercise common influence and "power over" others. Usually it describes the kind of group entity defined in political science or military science, which has a command hierarchy that carries out orders of a well-established, recognized authority analysis because people ally, for purposes of achieving power (sociology) Power is a measure of an entity's ability to control the environment around itself, including the behavior of other entities. The term authority is often used for power, perceived as legitimate by the social structure. Power can be seen as evil or unjust, but the exercise of power is accepted as endemic to humans as social beings. Often, the study, even with those with whom they have no social contact, do not like, and would otherwise not work with at all. A contact is thus something less even than a "weak friend" or acquaintance An interpersonal relationship is a relatively long-term association between two or more people. This association may be based on emotions like love and liking, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships take place in a great variety of contexts, such as family, friends, marriage,.

More than 200 such weak friends can exist in a true social network, but contact networks can be much larger - and are subject to such odd concepts as "customer relationship management Customer relationship management is a broadly recognized, widely-implemented strategy for managing and nurturing a company’s interactions with clients and sales prospects. It involves using technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes—principally sales activities, but also those for marketing, customer service, and."

Technologically, contact networks have tended to expand with the ease of sending and receiving people's contact information. Some semantic link A semantic link is a typed link where the element itself includes meaningful information about the link . The link describes some external relationship or issue. Such links are the basis of a semantic network conventions such as hCard hCard is a microformat for publishing the contact details of people, companies, organizations, and places, in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, or arbitrary XML. The hCard microformat does this using a 1:1 representation of vCard (RFC 2426) properties and values, identified using HTML classes and rel attributes have developed to facilitate just such a spread. Most Personal Information Manager A personal information manager is a type of application software that functions as a personal organizer. The acronym PIM is now, more commonly, used in reference to Personal information management as a field of study.[citation needed] As an information management tool, a PIM tool's purpose is to facilitate the recording, tracking, and management tools also handle contact networks easily, even if they have poor facilities for handling relationships as social network services A social network service focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relations among people, e.g., who share interests and/or activities. A social network service essentially consists of a representation of each user , his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web based and tend to specialize in.

Receiving or facilitating spam E-mail spam, also known as junk e-mail, is a subset of spam that involves nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by e-mail. A common synonym for spam is unsolicited bulk e-mail . Definitions of spam usually include the aspects that email is unsolicited and sent in bulk. "UCE" refers specifically to unsolicited commercial e- is thought to be often a consequence of having many contacts, as a penetrated email account can often be used to spread much of it, without the contact necessarily complaining to the sender, as they would in a true social network.
