What is the difference between social network and social networking?

Question

I don't know when to use gerund. Someone told me that "networking" works as a noun, but "network" is a noun, too.

Does this answer your question? Is this -ing form a gerund or a participle? — , Jun 12 '20 at 16:41

Nouns ending in -ing refer to activities. Social networking is what one is doing when one is using a social network.
