Top 10 Best Social Networking Websites In 2011
The world of Socialization really knows no bounds and it is already reaching a very faraway place,
the internet, which also covers almost everyone living in the world
today, who has access on the computer. Here are the top social media
sites that you could associate yourself with this year, a sure place of
making friends, feeding your social cravings of attention, interaction,
and connection with friends and total strangers.
1.Facebook
Number one on the list is Facebook. Well, this is really not surprising at all because if you are going to make the number of users
as the sole criteria in judging the best social media sites, Facebook
will really turn out to be the victor without further deliberations.
Currently, it has some 700,000,000 registered users, each could be
active or inactive, but the thing is that 700 million is a very big
number. Facebook really never fails to impress it subscribersbecause of
the regular updates and maintenance checks that they conduct from time
to time.
2. Twitter
If Facebook is on the number 1 rank, you could expect that Twitter
will be on the second place, right beside Facebook. Rumors are being
spread stating that Twitter will soon replace Facebook on the number 1
slot because of its relatively fresher and newer features, a thing that
most old school social networking media hosts really hate the most
because it could basically kill their site in just an instance. If you
were going to judge this site in terms of functionality and design, you
would discover that it really deserves to be on the number 2 slot.
3. MySpace
If you are thinking that MySpace is on the brink of its extinction
already, you are probably wrong. MySpace is still alive and kicking and
its followers are somewhat loyal to it despite the higher level of
glamour and attractiveness that other websites offer. Generally, MySpace
is still as user friendly as it used to be so there shouldn’t really be
a lot of user related issue when it comes to this topic. The only
problem about MySpace however is that it almost never changed its
platforms in a large-scale manner therefore, making it looks like a bit
uncompetitive compared to other social media.
4. LinkedIn
Social Media Sites are not purely made for the purpose of
socialization, news, and current affairs. Some of the most famous
network media nowadays are not even directly inclined with socialization
but mostly, on job networking. A particularly good example would be
LinkedIn. In here, you could set up a very strong network of colleagues
so that whenever you have to contact someone for a project, you can keep
in touch with your network quite more easily.
5. Ning
Is this your first time to hear this word? Well, now that you have
heard about it already, you can already search about it in the internet
and know the things that it can do for you. Basically, the features
could just be all the same if you are going to compare it with other
sites. The only difference that you could actually see between them are
the interphase that they offer and the type of services and customer
support that they can provide.
6. Friendster
Have you ever tried to visit Friendster and take a sneak peek at its
new look? If not, you should have visited it a long time ago because
there are actually a lot of changes that were already made since the
last time when all you could do is to visit your friends’ profile, post
some comments, testimonials and view all of the pictures that you want.
7. Multiply
Business people also have to communicate with each other every once
in a while to exchange ideas and propose new forms of plans for their
current settings. Now, multiply could do cater all of their needs when
it comes to business. Aside from the free services that are offered
here, you could also enjoy the friendly environment that is rather easy
to learn and understand even for new members and beginners. The
interphase is not really that sophisticated and it would only take some
minutes for you to get the hand of rooming around the website.
8. Tagged
Tagged is just like any other website out there who aims to be one of
the best in the social media industry. Unfortunately, it only fell into
the eighth rank because it simply cannot beat Facebook and Twitter in
terms of the uniqueness and customer care service that are offered. Most
likely, you should be able to see some similarities again but that does
not mean that these web hosts are made by the same developers.
9. Hi 5
Have you ever watched through the Disney Channel? If yes, you should
have heard about the Hi 5 social networking site already. One of the
best features that they boast off is the legitimate friends that you
could befriend. Because of that, more and more people are actually being
encouraged to join in and create their own accounts using the highly
selective profile creation interphase.
10. Orkut
Orkut is already making a very significant name as in the social
networking industry. This is basically good because it can serve as a
very good foundation for their future endeavors.
