Social Networking Sites


Right now the most popular social networking site is Facebook follow by Twitter and Myspace. As Myspace started to decline, Facebook began to rise to the top. Facebook keeps everyone in touch with their friends and family. It is also a place to advertise. The news feed in Facebook allows others to socialize with each other. Facebook has information about a person like their relationship status, education, workplace and residence.

Myspace used to be one of the most popular social networking site. Myspace had a feature where you were allowed to list your top friends. Myspace allow the user to design their homepage unlike Facebook. The background theme could have been used as advertisement. In your homepage, you were allowed to set up a song for everyone to hear when they visit your page.  

Twitter is a social networking site that is getting more popular. People on twitter usually tweets about what is happening in their lives. This allows the followers to see what your personality is like and what is on your mind. If a person likes your tweet, they may re-tweet it.

Friendster is a social networking site I used to use. It is very similar to the previous social networking sites. The site allowed users to play online games which are different from Twitter and Facebook. People on Friendster socialize from forums and blogs which Facebook, Twitter and Myspace don’t offer.
