Content:

The essence

The main goal of such a service is to make Internet communication between users who are distant from each other as simple as possible.

Some of these sites work only within one country or are popular in a certain language segment, others have an international format and people from different countries are registered on them.

Principle of operation:

• Create a page or account;
• In it, he may or may not indicate his interests, hobbies, place of work and study, place of residence and other data;
• By searching the site, integrating with or by phone number, account in others, he can find other people he knows;
• You can also find people who share the same interests and hobbies as the registrant;
• Now you can freely communicate with these people, and to simplify this process you can add them as friends;
• After registration, he can also use the rest of the additional functionality.

Communication using the CC is available only to registered members, although information from some groups is available for reading by unregistered people on the site.

Only the person who has an account, or only the one who is added to Friends (depending on the page) can write to you personally.

Advice. When registering, pay great attention to your privacy settings. It depends on them who exactly can see your page on the Internet, who can write to you and see your photos.

Kinds

• Microblogging. The most famous option is where users make small text notes in real time. Sorting is carried out mainly using hashtags (keywords written in the #keyword format);
• Acquaintance. Created for people who want to find a partner for one purpose or another. Examples are Tinder, Grindr, Mamba, etc. Depending on what type of dating she is targeting, her profiles can be detailed or contain only key information;
• Photos. The services seem to be designed for posting photos, the profile in them requires a minimum of information. In addition to the function of uploading photos, you can carry out personal correspondence. Navigation is also done using hashtags;
• Video. Not very common yet, especially in Russia, the most. It works the same way as Instagram, but users post videos, not photos. They are especially good because it is convenient to organize live broadcasts through them;
• Communication. Widely distributed in Russia (popular VC and, at the world level -). They allow not only finding friends and communicating with them, but also posting photos, videos, joining groups, etc.

Depending on the type, they have a particular target audience.

Thus, it was statistically revealed that the majority of Snapchat and Instagram users are under 35 years old, while the majority of Odnoklassniki's audience is 40+.

Communication

The main goal of the CC is to organize comfortable communication for people. This is accomplished in several ways:

• Dialogues Is a format of personal correspondence, in which you can write a message to any user who does not have this option disabled. At the same time, such correspondence is strictly confidential and only you yourself and your interlocutor see it;
• Conversations or Chats- this is a correspondence, created according to the same principle as dialogues, but you can add an unlimited number of people to it;
• Commenting- a comment can be left under any photos, microblog entries, etc., if such an option is not disabled for him;
• Microblogging, Walls and other services for posting posts to your account, which are seen by all your friends (or a certain list of them, depending on the settings);
• Groups, public pages and other ways to connect by interest, in which a topic for discussion (like legacy forums) is created.

Almost any service provides an opportunity for personal correspondence, but it is social networks such as Facebook and VK that make such correspondence especially convenient.

Media files

Some services also allow you to download and distribute various non-personal media files. So, the VK service is actively functioning My Videos.

The user can choose a movie he is interested in among the thousands of downloaded ones, save it to his page, tell his friends about it by sharing in the microblog, etc.

Facebook carefully monitors the observance of copyright and does not allow the distribution of feature films.

You can upload only small videos filmed by you personally, you can also share from other services.

The situation is similar with music.

While there is an extensive library of audio files, songs and audiobooks, it does not allow the download of non-personal audio recordings.

A couple of decades ago, the concept of a social network had a completely different meaning than it does now, and a wired telephone, against the background of paper letters, telegrams and postcards, looked like a technical revolution. Now everything is different. Today, the difference between today's 40-year-old parents and 60-year-old grandparents on the one hand, and their children and grandchildren on the other, is greater than between early Europeans and their ancestors three centuries later. Literally every year it brings technical innovations that make humanity change and go through life even faster. The wide and constant growth of their influence is evidence of this.

Modern social networks

Not so long ago, humanity got acquainted with social networks on the Internet. Technically, it is an interactive website that allows a large number of users to use it. Such a site exists to create, reproduce and integrate social interactions on the world wide web. The number of users includes both individuals and communities associated with common hobbies, representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, large organizations. These groups also include thematic forums, especially specialized ones, which have been rapidly developing in recent years.

Usually, the space of the site makes it possible to indicate data about yourself (year of birth, general education and higher educational institutions, favorite activities, etc.), by which the author's account can be found by other participants. Social networks are divided into open and closed. One of the typical features of such services is the system of "friends" and "groups".

The massive development of new Internet directions began in the mid-90s, when popular social projects appeared, first abroad, and then in Russia. But the official beginning of this upsurge is considered to be the beginning of the XXI century, when several popular social services appeared at once.

Now the latest social networks are very popular among modern users. The only problem is how to find a platform for your interests, to find a really interesting place for virtual communication. Sometimes the Internet makes it possible to replace live dialogue with electronic one.

Microblogging service

Twitter is a new generation social network that quickly became famous. It is a slightly unusual "social network" that allows you to send short text messages and photographs. All data on the user page is open for others to view.

1. The speed of information exchange between subscribers is much faster than in other social networks.
2. All published data is available to users who have their own Twitter account.
3. You can write a so-called "tweet" in just one click. This speed is appreciated by users. It is not necessary to print posts for a long time.
4. It is fashionable to be a member of this network these days. Therefore, many work with it even when there is no real need.

To work with a social network, a user must first go through the registration process. It happens quickly. All you need to do is enter your phone number, email address, desired nickname and password. Then you can start writing posts. The text is allowed to be supplemented with pictures and photos, videos and polls, links, hashtags and so on.

Icebergs - social network type organizer

Icebergs is a popular social network that has been created in recent years. The site was developed by A. Prett. He chose the easiest way - he just pulled together the possibilities of the Internet, which are used by many people today. Thus, a new social network called Icebergs was born.

Here you can read books, post posts, play, create groups, chat, or just watch videos and print messages. In fact, Icebergs is a huge organizer of all the user's images, notes, texts and other materials. But the author went further than one could imagine - he put everything together, combining it with the interface of a social network.

Bookish - a community for book lovers and writers

Other up-to-date social networks such as Bookish.com can become very useful and useful. The site is focused specifically on working with books. Here you can not only exchange opinions about different works or communicate with other book lovers, but also read and purchase goods. There is also a news feed where interviews with writers and publishers are published. Therefore, for a writer or poet, such a social network will also be interesting from a professional point of view. In it, authors will be able to work on promoting their works.

In addition, Bookish will introduce new authors and works from many genres. True, today there are not many registered users on this service. But the number of active pages is growing rapidly. There are especially many creative people on the social network.

Hey - analogue of "Facebook"

Hey.Im has become another social network of modern times. The network is designed to search for like-minded people by interests. The service is not yet very popular in Russia, Hey.Im often replaces Facebook. The latter makes it possible to find a friend at his address, as well as look at his profile, where interests, favorite films, music, and so on are indicated.

Experts say Hey.Im is still going to be popular. The service is focused on finding friends and chatting. The design is minimalistic, and many of the features that are commonly found on social media are missing.

Ask fm - service of questions and answers

The ASK.fm social network is not quite a standard social network. It is a question and answer network that started seven years ago. The site was developed in Latvia. After registration, the participant uploads his profile. You can use both your real name and your nickname. On a social network, you can ask questions to other users and answer those that were asked to you. ASK.fm is linked to other social networks that have facilitated the rapid spread of this website.

The service has become a very famous newest social network in our country and in a number of other countries. The number of users has reached several tens of millions of people in a relatively short period of time. The popularity of the site is given by its focus, ease of management and the ability to easily find the information you need.

Family leaf - communication service for parents

The newest social network is aimed at users who are looking for an opportunity to get information and communicate about family values ​​or parenting. In principle, the site can be considered specialized, pedagogical. In this respect, the family leaf occupies an important area that is always of interest. Therefore, the growth in popularity of the social network is inevitable in the near future.

In Russia, this newest social network is not yet very well known, there are very few Russian-language pages, those interested can be sent for registration only to their English-language counterparts. Although positive changes in the development of the social network are obvious. It can be seen that these topics are not alien to Russians. Many parents are interested in learning about the methods of raising children and adolescents abroad. They will, in turn, be happy to share their experiences.

Social Image Sharing Network Pinterest

Not all social networks are focused on personal pages only. For example, Pinterest is a social network with specialized content. Pinterest (in the Russian version of "Pinterest") is a site often positioned as a social network, where users can post photos. The resource is designed in the form of a "cork board" on which it is possible to create sets of images, divide them by topic. Users can explore the boards of other users, as well as work with a virtual button for placing pictures. You can like boards or individual pictures posted by other users.

The great functionalities of the site have been revealed to the authors of this newest social network, Pinterest. The interface makes it possible to publish photos, save them, sort, manage video files. The main tool is pointed buttons (pins) with which images can be attached to the electronic board. The latter are usually categorized according to various topics.

Fancy - a social network for collectors

Another newest social network is Fancy. Its additional function is a forum for collectors. Here you can chat with friends, post images of your collections, and also purchase something. You can simply search for information of interest with a simple search system and a large number of filters. Fancy is a business website, a blog, a social network, and a photo album. However, this network is currently not popular outside the United States.

Other modern social networks

The latest social networks are quite diverse and are not limited to those discussed above. More and more interesting resources are constantly appearing. For example, Thumb. This social network has an important feature. The main purpose of the service is to convey the reaction to the decisions of your friends. Therefore, Thumb is a tool that can help you discuss solutions to problems with other users.

This function of the network is liked by users both in Western countries and in our country. Thumb is a great solution for people who like to comment and rate various events.

Popular social networks in Russia

In our country, services are lagging a little, but a certain development is also visible. For example, in addition to those already noted above, a new social network FactCloud has appeared. In fact, this is the domestic analogue of the foreign Thumb. On the site, you can communicate, as well as support friends, make decisions with them and find out the results of their actions.

Social Internet sites appear very quickly and in large numbers, providing the individual's need for communication and socialization. The creators of web resources do not want to repeat themselves, and this does not make sense - no one wants to switch to analogue services, users will remain loyal to familiar social networks. Therefore, developers are constantly looking for something new: new features, new functions and new designs. And not just new, but radically different. This is the only way to interest users.

Undoubtedly, we should not forget about the list of social networks that have been popular for a long time. These are familiar to all Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte, Facebook. Numerous groups of users regularly communicate here. Of course, these sites do not have as many functions that exist in the latest social networks, but, nevertheless, contacting using these services is simple and convenient.

A large number of visitors come from search, if the site is in the top ten and the further, the fewer users. This is the difficulty, because there are millions of sites. Competition as in reality.

An ingenious idea to attract a large number of visitors to your site was the idea of ​​a social network. The point of a social network is that people communicate on it and invite their friends to join. Many people lack communication in reality or people are at a great distance from each other, this is what popular social networks are based on. Over the course of development, social networks have become commonplace for us. We communicate on social networks every day.

For many users, social networks have become indispensable in terms of communication. Exchanging messages with several people at once becomes a habitual state, without which a person plunges into loneliness and despondency. However, being in the space of popular social networks does not make a person happy, since there is no real communication, depth and sincerity. Currently, many large companies are introducing a ban on popular social networks in Russia, such as Odnoklassniki.ru, VKontakte, Facebook and others.

In contact with- search for fellow students and classmates; the most visited resource in Russia and Ukraine. Created in 2006 by Pavel Durov (recently registration has been closed for everyone, you can become a member of the network only if one of your friends is already registered on the site and he will send you an invitation to your mobile phone).

My [email protected] - a social network belonging to the same group of the company as Odnoklassniki; fully monetized in 2010. A distinctive feature is the ability to download a special application and correspond directly from the phone or computer (analogue of the ICQ pager).

My Circle - social network for job search and professional staff. The first social network in Runet, created in 2005 by a group of recent graduates from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow State University and the Russian School of Economics. Initially, the resource was conceived as a site for finding classmates, classmates, and was later re-profiled. On March 27, 2007, the service was purchased by Yandex; now it is one of Yandex services and continues its development under its tutelage.

Classmates- year of foundation - 1995. Number of participants - about 50 million. “When you are over thirty-five,” said the project's CEO Michael Schutzler, “you look in the rearview mirror of your life, and one day the thought arises in your head:“ Oh my god, how did I end up here? And how is Harry? I haven't spoken to him for 25 years. ” To solve the problem of "looking in the rear-view mirror" is called upon a network whose name is translated into Russian as "Odnoklassniki", created in the city of Renton, USA. Today, Classmates.com is one of the largest social networks in the world, bringing together people who want to find and keep in touch with those with whom they studied, worked or served in the military. It offers its members the opportunity to upload photos, biographies, participate in news discussions in the feeds of their community. Classmates.com is considered the first social networking site on the Internet.

MySpace- year of foundation - 2003. "Online community for communication with friends of your friends" - this is how the developers define the purpose of this social network. Members of the network can create their own communities of interest, blog, post photos, music and video materials. In January 2008, a beta version in Russian was launched, but in August 2009 the final closure of the Russian division was announced. The general director of Russian MySpace, Alexander Turkot, explained the closure by Rupert Murdoch's categorical reluctance to develop a network in Russia. Nevertheless, the Russian-language interface and profiles of Russian users have been preserved. After 2009, it loses its popularity (dropped from 5th place in the world to 72nd in 2011, the number of network members during this time decreased from 80 to 30 million). In April 2011, losses were announced for the first time on the network.
