Do you social with people? Yes! you did.

Do you online? Yes! of course!

But what are Social Networking Sites?

To explain in a simple way, social networking sites are web pages that facilitate for friendly and active interaction among members. Most social networks are Internet based and aim to provide various and interesting means on how users can interact. Such features may include instant messaging, video calling, chat, file sharing, discussion groups, voice chats, emails, blogging and so on. If you are currently a user of Myspace, Facebook or Friendster, you know exactly how social network sites work. Especially Facebook! Who does not has one Facebook account, you better create one now.

The Internet is becoming part of our life. The broad coverage of networking draws us closer with everyone around the world. There are no boundaries and no longer strangers exist in our social circle especially comes to networking! Social Networking Sites becoming so popular until all the online users are actively updating at least 12 hours everyday. Through this, we are engaging to everyone, our classmates, old-schoolmates, family etc.

Social networks work by collecting profiles of members. The information or data would be openly publicized to who may have the similar interests or who are searching such profiles. It would be interesting to rate which social networking sites have the most number of members. According to one of the research I’ve found online; currently, MySpace is leading the line with an unparalleled 200 million users or members worldwide. At far second place is blogging Website. Other leaders based on traffic and membership volume rankings include Orkut, Friendster, Facebook, Bebo and Tagged.com.

Though most of these social networking sites are open for everybody, my advice to all the users is to act accordingly to online ethics to avoid any unnecessary privacy invasion. Anyhow, we are here in a new decade. Today in 2010, why not create an account to your favorite social network sites now and interact with real people.
