Social Networking Sites

Facebook is the most familiar social networking site to me. It is very popular among students. Facebook users can communicate with other users through messages or the chat feature. Besides the chatting feature, Facebook also has many nice features, such as wall, pokes, status, etc. Facebook enable users to customize their personal privacy settings. Users can decide what information is going to share with which person through privacy settings. This is what I like the most about Facebook. 


Twitter has a 140 characters limitation on tweets. Therefore, users have to be careful of the words they are using in order to express their thoughts completely and precisely. Twitter becomes popular because of it's limitation saves a lot of times. Most of tweets are about users' daily lives, such as what they did and how they feel about something. Twitterers tend to be older adults compare to other social networking sites' users.


I have never used Myspace before. Myspace is a social networking site that enable users to share their favorite musics, movies, tv shows, etc. It seems like Myspace has a very good feature for users to share musics. Myspace also has many nice videos.


Unlike the other three social networking sites' homepage, Friendster has a lot of cartoon characters on its homepage. As Friendster states, it is a "social gaming destination of choice" website. It allows users to play games with friends. In my opinion, most games in Friendster is attractive to girls.
