 GREAT HELP!!

can you imagine sending snail mails just to say something to your friends? can you imagine sending an e-mail with photo attachments of your birthday bash to your friends? nuh uh!!

blogspot, twitter, myspace, multiply, friendster, formspring, lookbook, tumblr. you name it!! these guys have helped us in all different aspects in their own ways.. 

but what is important is to create an account in a site which suits us perfectly..

what to look for in a networking site:

Profiles

The heart and soul of social networking sites are user’s personal profiles. It’s like their own Internet sanctuary, a place where they can express their thoughts and feelings, post photographs and show off their network of friends.

Security

The Internet can be a dangerous place to post personal information. All social networks should provide the ability to set profiles to private in some way or another. Additionally they should have the ability to report and block users.

Networking Features

A good social network goes above and beyond just allowing users to post profiles and update pictures. Additional features should include music sections, video uploads, groups and more.

Search

The object of a social network is to find friends and expand relationships. Top social networking websites allows members to search for other members in a safe and easy to use environment. Common search functions include search by name, city, school and email address.

Help/Support

Most social network sites are self-explanatory. However, in the off-chance a user needs help there needs to be some way to contact the webmaster or answers in an FAQs section.

Legitimate Friend Focus

The growing trend for social networks is to communicate and keep in touch with people you already know. The best social network sites keep profiles and search options private enough that the only people that can find you are the ones actually looking for users in their own school or neighborhood networks.

you know what.. why not.. try them all!! have fun!!
