Internet has influenced the world of communication since the first day it was invented. People can always stay connected through internet. The first most popular application about internet communication in my generation is MSN. That was when social networking became popular. People always want to keep in touch with their friends. After MSN, the era of Hi5 hit world wide. This is when social networking had reached its peak. Social networking became amazingly popular since then. Who does not have their own page is considered old fashioned nowadays. What makes it fascinating is that people can keep in touch with their friend whether they are connecting to the internet or not. Too bad for myself, I had stopped using social networking since Hi5. Nowadays, I do not even use MSN. If I turn off my mobile phone, no one can contact me except via e-mail. It is not that I am not interesting. I just don't like to keep updating and checking, so I have no use for these things. But I do know what is the current trend, I'm still caught up to nowadays technology. Well If you want to see me, call me.

Two social networkings that are very popular in these days are Twitter and Facebook. All of my friends have their own facebook pages, so I have some ideas what can it do and what it is. Facebook tend to be a private social networking. Facebook users can limit who they want to be friends with, and who can view their profiles page, picture, video share, application and even chat. It's more like people can stay connected with your friends through their pages in privacy without unknown people peeking at your page. Facebook is not about who has the biggest friend list, or who's got millions of comments. It's about connecting with your friends.

I have heard the name Twitter, but I have no idea what can it do, so I do a research on it, and here is what I have learnt "Twitter enables the 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 known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access." For me, it sounds much more opened then Facebook, unless the users block their pages for only their friends. Twitter allows users to gain access to other people's pages than Facebook, so that if people view your page and show their interrests, you will have more followers which makes you cooler.

Well, social networking is still social networking for me. Nothing fancy. Its main objective is to make people stay connected to other, make more people know you, or sometime, make you become famous. They just have to compete each other with applications and features. It is up to personal tastes and societies of the users.
