Check Out Social Networking Sites

My first impression of most of the required social networking sites has happened over four years ago. I remember the first time I logged into MySpace I was totally confused about how to navigate around the website and I thought there was too much freedom as to how to design your profile. Too many choices leads to confusion. At lease for me. I also remember that there were even websites to get background designs from- which made it even more confusing for me when it came to choosing the most interesting one. I also remember that MySpace had a very sleazy feel to it and that it was filled with naked people and wannabe gangsters. I think it was everyone's effort to hook up.

Facebook, on the other hand, was simple and down-to-earth. I did not have to figure out too many options and I did not spend much time "designing" my profile. Plus it had a more mature crowd. I definitely thought it served my purpose a lot more- it was a way to stay in touch with people.

Friendster seems to me like it is a middle ground between MySpace and Facebook. It has the clean and hip feel of Facebook but also the cluttered with ads and very free feel to it like MySpace. I really like the branding of the page (ex. the green logo and the way albums looks) but overall I like simplicity, which Facebooks gives me.

Lastly, I have been part of a Polish social networking website called NaszaKlasa.pl. It means "our class" and it was designed for people to keep in touch with the friends they made in their classes. It has now turned into something more like Facebook and people keep in touch with everyone from family to coworkers. I really like that website becasue it is relatively clean looking and it allows me to keep in touch with my family and friends in Poland.

Overall, I am satisfied with a combination of Facebook and Naszaklasa.pl !
