The Social Network: Today's Trend!

Social networking has been a hit to the so called netizens or the internet citizens in the world. One proof is the growing number of social networking sites being offered which greatly attracted innumerable individuals to open new accounts. It has been said that if you don’t have one, you are already left out to the new “thing” online.

Top social networking sites are Facebook, Twitter and though not at first a social-network-oriented online page, You Tube has been considered one since there are already people from different places and races connect with such site and become friends online while typically sharing their videos in a huge community of people online.

Facebook.com, for me, ranks number one in all the social networking sites which launched on February 2004 and as of January 2011, it has reached more than 600 million active online users. When you open an account in facebook, you have to add profile information and the like, after which you will then start searching for your friends and send friend requests. After a while, you will begin to post to your wall, people will like it, then they will comment, you will comment back, chat them, share pictures and videos, and do all the other stuff.

The line which becomes very popular after the movie “The Social Network” was shown, “You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies…” is very true. While you are adding your REAL friends online, some individuals will send friend request to you, without knowing them that much, you add them up. This should sound that number game is going on with the site – thinking that making a number of friends in the list will make you more powerful and dominant.

Actually, we are making the 26-year-old computer genius, Mark Zuckerberg, to accumulate more and more earnings online. Well, who would think that a dropout from Harvard University is already earning a net worth of $13.5 billion as of 2011 and still counting today? That is a big money for creating a hit, Facebook.

The other social networking site is Twitter. If you have an account, simple things should be done. You have to follow other twitter accounts or be followed, after that you tweet like a bird singing a beautiful song. Twitter is commonly used by movie and television personalities, the renowned music icons, and like but it has been used by ordinary individuals like me. They usually post or popularly known as tweet in their accounts the events that they will be up to, their insights, and many more since people are too curious on how they start and cease their day.

While the two sites require users to post something on their walls, You Tube, however is very different. You Tube requires their users to upload videos of different genres with its famous line “Broadcast Yourself”. May it be personal, in the music scene, the television industry, may it be comical, serious, travel and leisure, all should do. You Tube is a video-sharing online community which makes it to top of all the web browsers today. One views, the other is viewed or the other way around.

From all the mentioned social networking sites, these accounts should be maintained regularly, at least once every day. People will be updated about you and/or you will be updated by the people in your community of friends online. It's already too obligatory but you have started it, then you have to continue such.

Twitter: Do The Tweeting Habit!!!

While almost everyone has opened new accounts in top social networking sites, just recently I updated my twitter account and do the thing called "The Tweeting Habit". Well, before that I forgot I had one so I tried to sign up but Twitter notified me that there is already an existing account with the same email address. I then thought that somebody else has been into my account and has free access to my email account.

But all were just merely bad and weird thoughts of mine. I just tricked myself. All is well! Nothing to worry about. It's just that I need to update my tweets every now and then.

Letting your followers know what you are thinking and doing is a little awkward to me since I'm not an actor or what, though I'm a disk jockey in a local radio station --- I am no star! Well, this time I have to share some of my thoughts, activities and the like to my finger-counted followers.

Do follow me (twitter.com/SuperKaloy) on Twitter and do "The Tweeting Habit"!!! ;')
