Social Networking

Prologue

New modern lifestyle has made people to choose a convenient way to keep relation with their friends, lover, family ,etc. One of them is called social networking, a place where people can know each other what are they still do (working), what they're plan on future, even an opinion about something. Nowdays this things called social networking become more and more popular from day by a day. This result shows how enthusiastic people about this kind of a modern lifestyle.

Features

Social networking usually a web page form that consist of user profile, relation(friend list) and a little note or comment box. But nowdays most of them has included some additional other feature just like a blog, chatting room, etc. Not only just that, social networking user also can embed some widgets/tools into their profile,. Sample of this kind of widgets just like a personality test, flash games even mp 3 player and video can be embed to user profile.

Provider/Host

Although there is many social networking but only 3 that so far I had been try. These 3 are:
1)
Friendster - one of most popular social networking especially around Asia and Oceania (If I recall it right..), for more detailed information visit it's web page at friendster.com .
2)
Liveconnector - not so long after Friendster invade Indonesia around 4-5 years ago, there are new social networking that try to dominate this region called LC (Liveconnector). From beginning invasion LC it's has already provided chatting systems to their services. But I don't know it's current state right now, for more detailed information visit it's web page at liveconnector.com .
3)
Yuwie - One of new kind of social networking, although this one is new but it's has already around 700.000 members. Yuwie used unique promote to gain a new member, they used payback systems to their members. Simple way they will pay their member based on page view and referral, but there are negative effect for this systems. Yup, there are too many advertisement section in Yuwie. But I like this new one, not because it's advertisement off course! I like it because Yuwie provide with RSS feed. Simple word that I can say, we can showing our feeds up to 3 RSS Feeds into our profile. 2 Latest posted on each feed will be showed into top of our profile, simple and convenient eh?
For more detailed information about Yuwie you can visit : yuwie.com or view my profile at yuwie.com/dapit .

There also another most popular social networking especially around America called Myspace, but I've never tried it. Myspace web page : myspace.com
