Building social network through websites is booming in developing and developed countries between their existing friends, classmates, families, and other people over the world. To Cambodia, technology is coming in a few years but it is still limited access for rural areas, lack of electricity and high price as well.
Personal Contact Management Website:
1-MySpace: to connect with existing friends, relatives and a mean for networking. MySpace is the most popular social networking website.
2-Orkut: it is owned and operated by Google. Its service is to make it easy to find people who share your hobbies and interests, look for romantic connection or establish new business contact.
3-Hi5: its service allows members to find friends and content by providing “a platform for established artists, underground talent, and everyday people to all gain prominence amongst a worldwide audience.â€
4-Facebook: its service is a way for colleague students to connect and anyone to join
5-Friendster: Friendster’s primary focus is helping people to connect with friends, family, classmates, and persons sharing similar interests.
6-LinkedIn: the service simplifies the process of maintaining existing first-degree connections, while making it easy to form new relationships via second-degree connections. Reconnecting with professionals is as easy as typing in their e-mail addresses (if known) or other personal information to perform a look-up.
7-XING: Unlike LinkedIn, which is free for all users, XING’s free access is limited to features such as personal profiles, discussions groups, and event coordination. A monthly paid membership is required for several additional features, such as messaging persons to whom you are not directly connected.
8-Ecademy: Like XING, Ecademy includes both a free basic membership and a paid premier membership.
9-Ryze: Like Ecademy, Ryze is free to join but includes the option of paying for a gold membership. This membership option includes advanced search functionality and the ability to set up industry- and geographic-specific groups.
My space is the number 1 in social networking website. Face book is the number 2.. the facebook owner has rejected the 1.6billion deal from yahoo… up untill now the face book business model is focus on consumer only.. so the revenues from the site is low… i’ve heard that…..it will shift its focus to advertiser… hope that will make more revenues…
from msnbs talk .. i don remember when…
Thanks for your sharing information.
