Stumbled across this link: Popular networking sites around the world. Click here to visit.
Networking websites are important developments and can be expected to remain a permanent feature of the Internet. Networking websites fulfill the purpose of connecting individuals over the Internet. People network on the Internet for many reasons, chief among them being the need to develop social connections, such as friendships and intimate relationships. Other reasons include networking for business opportunities, connecting with others who share niche interests, and establishing an online presence.
Networking websites are attractive because they provide a secure platform that shields the identities of individuals on the Internet. Unless and until both parties are confident and secure about releasing their personal details to the other party, their details remain confidential. In the early days of the Internet, most people connected over BBS's (bulletin board systems) or IRC (internet relay chat). Keeping in touch meant either revealing personal details (e.g. telephone number) or emailing. With the advent of networking sites, the rules of the game have changed. The networking site commonly sends updates to its member. There is no need to reveal the email address, hence ensuring a degree of privacy.
