Checking Out Some Social Networking Sites

There are many different social networking sites. There are four that i took a look at that kind of caught my eye and a known. These networking sites are myspace, facebook, friendster and zoosk. Myspace is one of the most famous sites that i know of. On myspace, you can find some of your current friends and also make new ones from anywhere that myspace is available like in other countries. The user also has the power to make thier homepage as personal as they want with custom backgrounds and custom homepages for other people to see. You also have the choice to add applications like game in order to distract yourself for a little bit and do something else. Facebook is similar to myspace in that you can find people you already know and meet new people. It is less personal i find because you can't really personalize your page with wallpaper and themes. Friendster is like facebook in that is simple and allows a person to state the information that the user wants to give. One of the things i liked about friendster is that it shows any connections you might have with that person like people that you and another user might have in common. Zoosk is another social networking website that is more of a dating thing then any other thing. You see peoples profiles or date cards how they call it and you have a choice of either sending them a wink or sending them a flirtacious message. I find it too simple and they actually want people to subcribe and pay different amounts for different priviliges. I say zoosks is more like a simplified version of eharmony and websites like that
