Myspace. Facebook. Bebo. These are the 3 top social networking sites in the United States. Everyone’s heard about Myspace, and most people have heard about Facebook, too. Bebo has a little less brand awareness, but still has millions of regular users, and is most popular in the UK.

People use this sites to connect with people online. Users can create a profile which they can then post anything about themselves that they want. Interests, hobbies, you name it. People often share photos online and may make simple updates about their personal situations, similar to blog posts, but the blog functionality isn’t as developed as Wordpress, for example. Users often try to reconnect with old friends or gain new ones through the online social networking. Some users even strive to have as many ‘friends’ as they can get, with minor net celebrities (or a good looking woman ) getting hundreds or thousands of friends.

Often these sites are blocked from work or school. You can usually bypass these sites using a proxy, though. For example, you can use this Facebook proxy to access Facebook.com.
