Checking out some social networking sites


Face book is rapidly growing and most popular social networking website. The most attractive feature of face book is status updates, a lot of applications, ads and “people you may know” tool. This tool really helps you to add the people you know but didn’t know they were on face book. we can play and participate in games, quizzes, tests, polls, and much more.

My space is also very popular among people but its popularity has been going down from past two years. More and more people are switching from my space to face book but the ones who’re addicted to it, don’t find face book that attractive. What I like most about my space was its music collection and the blogging feature. You can also create the background of your page as you like.

Friendster isn’t that in to use anymore. It’s slower and not popular all over the world that much as compared to face book and my space. It’s commonly used among people of Asia; Friendster’s hyperlinked profile information of its members is an attractive feature to find other people of similar interests to you. As well as, Friendster has recently started to open up its platform to third-party application developers.

Orkut is another social networking website which is very similar to face book and widely used in India. On orkut you can view everyone’s profile whether you’re friends with that person or not, so no privacy. You will be informed that how many times your profile has been visited and it also tells u who has visited your profile recently.
