3. Learning from the mistakes that other social networks have made

As already said, while many social networking sites like myspace, Facebook etc have gained popularity, a few other social networking sites have disappeared in the Internet crowd. As the old saying goes, “The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” Hence it’s necessary to learn from the mistakes that the other social networks made. One of the biggest mistakes that some of the social networking web designers make is overloading their web page with heavy graphics. They have a misconception that attracting visitors to social networking website depends all on eye candy. Loading a web page with heavy graphics will end up in longer load times. The visitors of your website won’t be patient enough to wait for the page to load. This will make the visitors quit from the page and they never return to your social networking website. Hence make the social networking web design simple and user friendly.

The social networking softwares come in handy here. There are many social networking software that can be used in your social networking website, which will be fun for the users. They will be pleased to return to your site to use the social networking applications and moreover, they will refer your site to their fiends too.

We are almost at the end of the glorious year, 2008. Everyone using the Internet would be aware of the fact that the social networking websites have gained huge popularity through this whole year. And it’s now the ideal time to make a review on the 5 best social networking sites of the year 2008. There were no much changes from the start of this year and the reigning champions are:

1. Myspace

2. Facebook

3. Bebo

4. Friendster

5. Hi5

The winner is Myspace

Almost every Internet user knows what Myspace is and more than 80% of them would have used Myspace. The key factors of the success of this social networking giant are, unique social networking web design, the easiness in sharing pictures, communicating with friends, and option to create the best customized social networking profiles. Another cool feature of myspace which we loved is the independent music bands anchored on myspace for easy music discovery. With loads of social networking features enabled through social networking softwares and all of them available for free, Myspace is the Winner.

Facebook – The contender

Facebook, yet another popular social networking website has been a serious competitor of Myspace. With the cool social networking softwares made available, facebook has become addictive to many teenagers (still no harm to them). With top notch security features, facebook is one of the most preferred social networks. So here is what holds facebook back off the winner circle. It is the limited customization options that facebook offers. However, considering all other social networking features that facebook offers, it receives the silver award. Facebook is the contender.

Bebo and Friendster – The Quickly grown Social networks

The growth of the popular social networking site- Bebo and friendster was very quick. These two social networking websites remained unknown by the start of this year and today the reached the 3rd and 4th positions of the social networking website rankings. Bebo, being bought by AOL is gaining popularity each day in the United States. Like all other social media sites, there are cool social networking softwares, personalization and privacy settings. Bebo and Friendster are in the 4th and 5th place respectively.

The rise of other social networks

The popularity of social networking has driven many people to have their own social networking website. With the social networking website design becoming easier each day, many online marketers have created their own business social networks. Though these social networking websites doesn’t appear on the top 50 rankings, they are of great use to the creators. Though these social networks, online marketers are able to promote their products, understand customer needs and get more exposure to their business. With the easiness of social networking website design we are now expecting some huge changes in the rankings of social networking websites in the year 2009.
