Other social networks

Apart of Facebook, that is the page on the net that I have most commented on, exists other social networks with similarities to Facebook and with a lot of members too.

My Space, for example, is a type of social network that as the other pages you first need to register by e-mail address, then you are already registered and after that, you have to create your own profile with your musical tastes, hobbies, favourite books, ... to let people know your preferences so that you can meet them because of your same tastes.
You can also add photos or videos that you find interesting and your friends can commented them or give their opinion deppending of the theme and the dislikes.

Actually, social networks have a similar estructure and clear objectives between them because their order is to meet people, share fles, photos and videos besides knowing what are your friends doing at the moment.

There's an option that you don't allowed people to see your profile or even your friends.

Twitter is free to join and has the same structure as the other ones.
What is particularly of it is that your messages are limited just to 140 characters, that's why people call it a "microblogging" tool. So that your messages have to be concise and brief.

If you want to use any of this social networks you must use a name, that don't have to be real, which reflects you.
There are many different ways about using Twitter or other pages, here are five of them:

-For building your experience and your authorty.
- For giving more sense to your ideas.
- For promoting yourself.
-For being more social with your readers and people you want to meet.
-For making all you update the objective to create a big cultural community.
