Social Networking Analysis

Social networking sites have become some of the most popular sites on the internet. These sites allow users to connect with each other through messages, chat, statuses, and pictures. Some of the most popular social networking sites are Facebook and MySpace. These two sites are the 5th and 9th most popular sites on the web respectively.
These social networking sites are extremely popular among teenagers, and their popularity among adults is slowly growing as well. Many teenagers would admit to checking their Facebook or MySpace every day and some would admit that they cant live without it.
Facebook has many useful uses in society. Kids can post pictures of themselves with their friends, keep in contact with them through messages and chat, and use other applications like social games played with friends on Facebook. Adults can use the site to try to get in touch with old classmates or friends or keep in touch with people from work. Businesses can create Facebook pages to try to keep their employees friendly outside of the workplace.
MySpace started out as a social site but has now turned in to more of a commercial site. Most people used to use MySpace before they used Facebook. Now more teenagers use Facebook instead of MySpace. But MySpace is still very popular as a commercial site. Almost all musicians and bands have MySpace pages where their fans can listen to songs, get info on tour dates, buy merchandise, and post comments about the artist.
