Social Networking sites




I would say that all three social networking are very similar. These social networking are here for the main reason to keep people connected. Now, we can keep in touch with our friends or family from all over the world so easily.

Facebook
This networking is my favorite. I use it a lot to keep in touch with my friends. It’s simple place to share pictures or music with others. For instance, my friend from Czech Republic went to Taiwan and took so many pictures. How could I see them? Sending to my email would take forever. So, he just uploaded them to facebook and we all his friends can see them and share his memories from the trip. Also, it is very easy to chat with everyone added as your friend. Moreover, if you don’t want to be a friend with someone, you just don’t accept his/her request and he/she won’t know that you denied it.

Myspace
My space was popular years ago. I used to have it. I stopped posting anything on it since the most of my friends signed up for facebook. I would say that myspace is not so popular in Europe. I remembered that it was working pretty much like facebook. However, there wasn’t live chat. There are some features such as customizing your page with color which I don’t think it is so handy.

Friendster
I had never used Friendster until today. I did not find any significant differences from others social networking.

Skype
Skype is the best networking to call over the internet. You can call anyone who is connected at this moment for free or buy a credit. I always use Skype to call on cell phones or home phones out of the US. It is the cheapest provider that I found so far. You can share pictures or music too. However, it is not as accessible as facebook. You have to send each picture or file at the time.
