Social networks seem to be a trend nowadays in the internet. Social networking sites like the MySpace, Friendster, Facebook or LinkedIn all have evolved since then and is now more than what they were back then.
Now you can do more with a social network than meet people or exchange pictures. You can even add videos or find old friends and many more. Even the layout of your profile can now be changed.
Meet new people. The main reason why social networking sites evolved is to find new friends via the net. You can meet and find new people from all over the world. You may make as many friends as you can, and it all depends on your accessibility to a computer. These sites have different ways to make online friends.
Find old friends. I myself make use of the social networking sites to find old friends. For example I tried to find a person named Dennis Carey. The network brings several results about the name. Dennis Carey is a senior software Engineer, a consultant, even a Program Manager and had a vast experience working in the IT industry. A social networking and the benefits of joining it may well provide that and all of the details that have relevance in his personality and business background.
It is also an opportunity to find your friends from way back. You can just type their name and be able to find them, that is, if they are in that site. I tried to find my friend in LinkedIn as I know that he is right now a professional already and there is a close possibility that he is located in the said site. You can just join in the networking site and create your profile, and start your searching.
Photo albums may be created and photos are shared. Just add up all your photos like in Friendster and MySpace and group them into albums. Almost all networks have photo albums and can then be turned into a slideshow. These photo albums will come in handy especially if your family and relatives come from all over the world.
Added videos is an added feature. Aside from adding pictures, videos can be combined too together with your pictures. Your friends whether old or new, will appreciate all what you put in your profile. You may also create your own video and add it up as well to your profile in the network.
Everyone needs a sense of belongingness. Admit it or not, each one of us wants to belong or feel wanted. In joining a social network, you will be able to create your own group of friends. In no time at all, you will feel that you are in the right place.
