Everyone using the Internet should be aware of the fact that the social networking websites gained huge popularity in 2008. So here is a review of the 5 best social networking sites of 2008 by social networking web designer Jonathan Mac.
1. Myspace
2. Facebook
3. Bebo
4. Friendster
5. Hi5
The winner is Myspace
Almost every Internet user knows what Myspace is and more than 80% of them would have used Myspace. The key factors of the success of this website are, unique web design, the easiness in sharing pictures, communicating with friends, and option to create the best customized profiles. Another cool feature of myspace which we loved is the independent music bands anchored on myspace for easy music discovery. With loads of social networking features enabled through softwares and all of them available for free, Myspace is the Winner.
Facebook – The contender
Facebook, yet another popular social networking website has been a serious competitor of Myspace. With the cool softwares made available, facebook has become addictive to many teenagers (still no harm to them). With top notch security features, facebook is one of the most preferred social networks. So here is what holds facebook back off the winner circle. It is the limited customization options that facebook offers. However, considering all other social networking features that facebook offers, it receives the silver award. Facebook is the contender.
Bebo and Friendster – The Quickly grown Social networks
The growth of the popular websites- Bebo and friendster was very quick. These two websites remained unknown by the start of this year and today the reached the 3rd and 4th positions of the social networking website rankings. Bebo, being bought by AOL is gaining popularity each day in the United States. Like all other social media sites, there are cool social networking softwares, personalization and privacy settings. Bebo and Friendster are in the 4th and 5th place respectively.
The rise of other social networks
The popularity of social networking has driven many people to have their own social networking website. With the website design becoming easier each day, many online marketers have created their own business social networks. Though these social networking websites doesn’t appear on the top 50 rankings, they are of great use to the creators. Though these social networks, online marketers are able to promote their products, understand customer needs and get more exposure to their business. With the easiness of website design we are now expecting some huge changes in the rankings of social networking websites in the year 2009.
