On Social Networking

Different social networking sites proliferates these days, and well am one of those millions of users.

These are the social sites on my list:



Delicious a social bookmarking site.

You can access you bookmarks anywhere without your pc! You're no longer dependent in your own machine for the pages that you bookmarked with.



Twitter a micro-blogging site.

Twitter lets you update what you've been doing and letting your followers/friends know it and you will be updated of your friends too. Quite helpful if your following interesting people, you'll learn cool and interesting things in just a matter of seconds.

Another thing is tracking keywords in Twitter. Let's say your tracking google: “track google”. Just a simple entry but you IM goes ballistics! Whew! Imagine when you track google and each twitter user

around the globe who updates with the word google will be sent to you even if you're not friends. Quiet handy. Wink You can update using IM, Phone, Web, etc. You can use Twittr, Twitteriffic, Twitbin, TwitterFox, Twhirl, and lots of tools out there!


Facebook for network of friends/social graph, joining a cause, and usually I visit it for gaming.

Lots of 3rd party applications to play around with. Some are helpful some are nuances that requires you to invite your friends before seeing the actual application itself. Beware you're data in FaceBook will remain even if you will delete your account. Yeah, they will delete your account but your data is Archived which means its still available (for them to use maybe) but just deactivated.


YouTube

Well for videos YouTube is quite popular, though I use MySpaceTV sometimes.


Friendster

It needs further development but it's nice that they are adding 3rd party applications now. They are now supporting Google's OpenSocial.

Old friends are friendster users, well friendster is quite popular in the Philippines.

Lets you post pictures, bulletins, and giving testimonials or comments to friends. Spread some love! Laughing


Hi5/Imeem

I usually use this sites for my music needs.


PageOnceCool

PageOnce is very useful if you have multiple email accounts and lots of social networking sites.

It will let you add all your accounts, so you can manage all your accounts in just one site. Great!


There are more social sites out there, connecting with your friends and learning sure brings the fun! Laughing
