First, Twitter is a free social networking and a micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are nown as followers (from wikipedia). Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey in 2006. Now, twitter has been being popular because its functions didn’t just for communicating but also sharing what’s happening in the world. I think twitter can be one of information network. The data that I found from Alexa's web traffic analysis, twitter is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide. A February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits. In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009. Twitter had a monthly growth of 1,382 percent.
Then, Facebook is a global social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Facebook also give us many of application, such as games, IQ test, etc. So, we can enjoy to use it. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region. The web site's name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students get to know each other better. The founder of facebook is Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University (from wikipedia). At first, facebook was created just for Harvard students but on later facebook was expanded to other colleges. Until now, around 3 million active users were using this website. At January 2009, Compete.com study ranked facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users.
MySpace is also social networking website. MySpace became the most popular social networking site in the United States in June 2006. According to comScore, MySpace was overtaken internationally by its main competitor, Facebook in April 2008, based on monthly unique visitors. MySpace employs 1,000 employees, after lying off 30% of its workforce in June 2009 from wikipedia). Myspace is created by Fox Interactive Media, there is Tom Anderson, Owen Van Natta, Mike Jones, Jason Hirschhorn. The contents in Myspace profile are moods updates, information about personal user, blog, upload images and videos, comment by friend, etc. The features are bulletins, groups, IM, MySpaceTV, applications, news, classifieds, karaoke, polls, and forums. It’s all given to compete their competitor, Facebook.
The social network sites are competing each other to give the best for their users. So, they always give the new features. We can enjoy to use it as often as we want because it’s free. But, we must be careful to select the people who being our friends. And don’t forget to do other activities. Sometimes, we can forget the other things when we have been playing the Internet. Keep following my blog :) byeeee!
